Folded current sense shunt resistor

A current measuring device, comprising:

• a shunt resistor, comprising:
• a first conductive plate comprising a first conductive lead;
• a second conductive plate comprising a second conductive lead;
• a resistive element coupled to the first conductive plate and the second conductive plate, the resistive element folded such that a first edge surface of the resistive element is positioned parallel to and facing a second edge surface of the resistive element;
• and
• an insulator disposed between the first conductive plate and the second conductive plate;
• and
• measurement circuitry coupled to the first conductive lead and the second conductive lead, the measurement circuitry configured to determine an electrical current through the shunt resistor based on a voltage difference between the first conductive lead and the second conductive lead.
