Yes, something like this would be clearer to me.

Anyway, I think you also need to check for val > INT_MAX / MICRO when
val_fract is < INT_MAX % MICRO, right?

Also, I think you can remove a couple of parenthesis.

So something like the following maybe (but please double check it):

	if ((!val && !val_fract) || val > INT_MAX / MICRO ||
	   (val == INT_MAX / MICRO && val_fract > INT_MAX % MICRO))

I think that usually it would be better to use pre-computed constants
instead of run-time divisions for efficiency but since the shunt
resistor is likely going to be set rarely, I would go for this code for
better clarity.

Ah, sorry for missing Andy's comment. I am fine with it if you also find
it more readable.
