This product from HK:

It says it measures 0-130A....
Does that mean you can't higher A through it?

Example: If I put it on an EV that hits "peaks" of 200A. Would the thing blow-up or simply display 130A ?
Anyone using these on their EV?

Thanks
 
Most likely that 130A is a peak power level already, and if you sustain even half of that, it would probably heat up a lot; at 130A it'd probably eitehr melt the shunt off the board or burn the PCB. ;)
