2. Ammeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammeter

   In the case of alternating current, the use of a current transformer also isolates the meter from the high voltage of the primary circuit. A shunt provides no such isolation for a direct-current ammeter, but where high voltages are used it may be possible to place the ammeter in the "return" side of the circuit which may be at low potential ...

3. Current clamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_clamp

   An electrical meter with integral AC current clamp is known as a clamp meter, clamp-on ammeter, tong tester, or colloquially as an amp clamp. A clamp meter measures the vector sum of the currents flowing in all the conductors passing through the probe, which depends on the phase relationship of the currents. Only one conductor is normally ...

4. Multimeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

   Inexpensive analog meters may have only a single resistance scale, seriously restricting the range of precise measurements. Typically, an analog meter will have a panel adjustment to set the zero-ohms calibration of the meter, to compensate for the varying voltage of the meter battery, and the resistance of the meter's test leads.

5. Current sensing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

   A current sensor is a device that detects electric current in a wire and generates a signal proportional to that current. The generated signal could be analog voltage or current or a digital output. The generated signal could be analog voltage or current or a digital output.

6. Electricity meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_meter

   North American domestic analog (Ferraris disk) electricity meter. Electricity meter with transparent plastic case (Israel) An electricity meter, electric meter, electrical meter, energy meter, or kilowatt-hour meter is a device that measures the amount of electric energy consumed by a residence, a business, or an electrically powered device over a time interval.

7. Ohmmeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohmmeter

   An analog ohmmeter. An ohmmeter is an electrical instrument that measures electrical resistance (the opposition offered by a circuit or component to the flow of electric current). Multi-meters also function as ohmmeters when in resistance-measuring mode. An ohmmeter applies current to the circuit or component whose resistance is to be measured.
