A type of a battery charge regulator in which the charging current is controlled by a switch or transistor connected in parallel with the device that is providing the charge, such as a solar panel. Overcharging of the battery is prevented by shorting the photovoltaic output. Shunt regulators are com...

A voltage regulator which uses a transistor or FET, in parallel with the load, which shorts out the excess voltage when the applied input voltage exceeds a specified limit producing a regulated output voltage. It is a simple but lossy design.

An electrical device that begins conducting at a specified voltage and conducts as much current as required to hold its terminal voltage to that specified voltage. The power supply is designed to only supply a maximum amount of current that is within the safe operating capability of the voltage reference (i.e. the shunt regulating device).
