Question

What is. Shunting effect?

Answer 1

Shunting effect is the loss of electrical current via the secondary circuit provided due to existence of previous nugget in a series of welding spots. This phenomenon is important for products containing intermittent spots

Answer 2

$\huge\sf{\underline{Shunting\:effect:}}$

It is the loss of electrical current.

$\sf{\underline{That\:is:}}$

Products which contain intermittent spots, for them, this phenomenon is important.

$\sf{\underline{In\:other\:words:}}$

Voltmeter when connected in a circuit to measure the potential difference, it brings about a redistribution of currents and this lowers the potential difference.

This change can be insignificant for the resistance across which it is connected.

This effect is known as 'Shunting Effect'.
