Maximizing Accuracy: Utilizing Inline Ammeters to Measure Current Flow

B

An inline ammeter is connected in series with the load being checked.

In other words, it is placed in-line between the power source and the load, so that all of the current flowing through the circuit passes through the ammeter. This allows the ammeter to measure the actual amount of current being drawn by the load and provide an accurate reading of the current flow.

Connecting the ammeter in parallel to the load would cause a short circuit, and connecting it across the load would not allow for an accurate measurement of the current flow. Additionally, it is important to disconnect the system power before making any electrical connections to avoid electrical shocks or damage to the equipment.
