  2. Ammeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammeter

    An ammeter usually has low resistance so that it does not cause a significant voltage drop in the circuit being measured. Instruments used to measure smaller currents, in the milliampere or microampere range, are designated as milliammeters or microammeters .

  3. Class of accuracy in electrical measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_of_accuracy_in...

    Ideally the measuring device should not affect the circuit parameters i.e., the internal impedance of the ammeter should be zero (no voltage drop over the ammeter) and the internal impedance of the voltmeter should be infinite (no current through the voltmeter). However, in actual case, ammeters have a low but non zero impedance and voltmeters ...

  4. Instrument error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_error

    The act of taking the measurement may alter the quantity being measured. For example, an ammeter has its own built-in resistance, so if it is connected in series to an electrical circuit, it will slightly reduce the current flowing through the circuit.

  5. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

    Every inline series-connected ammeter, including a multimeter in a current range, has a certain resistance. Most multimeters inherently measure voltage, and pass a current to be measured through a shunt resistance, measuring the voltage developed across it. The voltage drop is known as the burden voltage, specified in volts per ampere.

  6. Shunt (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunt_(electrical)

    A shunt is a device that is designed to provide a low-resistance path for an electrical current in a circuit. It is typically used to divert current away from a system or component in order to prevent overcurrent. Electrical shunts are commonly used in a variety of applications including power distribution systems, electrical measurement ...

  7. Short-circuit test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_test

    An ammeter is connected in series with the primary winding. A voltmeter is optional since the applied voltage is the same as the voltmeter reading. Now with the help of a variac, the applied voltage is slowly increased until the ammeter gives a reading equal to the rated current of the HV side. After reaching the rated current of the HV side ...

    Using education and simple, low-cost methods, the Carter Center’s health initiatives addressed “neglected tropical diseases”: lymphatic filariasis, trachoma, schistosomiasis and malaria.

  9. Manganin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manganin

    Manganin foil and wire is used in the manufacture of resistors, particularly ammeter shunts, because of its virtually zero temperature coefficient of resistance value [2] and long term stability. Several Manganin resistors served as the legal standard for the ohm in the United States from 1901 to 1990. [3]
