I hope you figured out by now that the shunt is not a heater.
Bill recommended using a shunt, for the purpose I described in my previous post. He also stated that it would be best to use it at no more than 30% of its rated current, because if you go above that, the shunt will warm up; when it warms up, it starts resisting more, and that introduces an error margin, in your current measurements (an irrecoverable error, I might add!).
