Body

Wow Sven,
That's a heavy duty shunt you have there!
The big bolts are to carry the large current under test in and out of the
resistor via brass blocks on either end.

The two smaller connections are the voltage measuring points, the
resistance is correct between these two points.
It is correct to place your measuring device here, but like me & Ole
said.... have to pay attention to your earthing points.

I can see a high current connection to the left end but not the right hand
end of the shunt?
Where does this current come out?

I don't exactly understand your words in your email above "I still need
capacitors for the sheath current filter because I lie partially over 600V,
or in series...."

Do you mean the whole shunt is floating at 600V above/below  ground
potential?

Sorry... me easily confused

Since shunt is intended for up to 200A and you are only using it at 35A the
voltage per amp is going to be quite small.
So  noise and contact potential errors may creep in through dissimilar
types of metal at junctions.

I do recommend to try a clip on type ammeter or Hall effect probe for these
kinds of measurements.
