Shunt and Meter question | 28 comments (28 topical)

Hi

Amps are measured in series with the load.... Volts are measured across the load..

If the meter flicks backwards turn it round.

With an amp meter, you are measuring the volts drop developed in the shunt by virtue of its resistance.

Hope this helps

Brian.
