Ammeters

An ammeter is a device used to measure the flow of electric current in a circuit, expressed in amperes. It is connected in series with the circuit components so that the current passes through it, allowing it to accurately gauge the flow. Ammeters are essential for diagnosing electrical issues, ensuring circuits operate within safe limits, and monitoring performance. They are typically calibrated to provide direct readings, and their design minimizes voltage loss in the circuit. Proper use and placement of an ammeter help maintain electrical safety and efficiency in various applications.
