  2. Ammeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammeter

    An ammeter (abbreviation of ampere meter) is an instrument used to measure the current in a circuit. Electric currents are measured in amperes (A), hence the name. For direct measurement, the ammeter is connected in series with the circuit in which the current is to be measured.

    Measures current Capacitance meter: Measures the capacitance component Current clamp: Measures current without physical connection Curve tracer: Applies swept signals to a device and allows display of the response Cos Phi Meter: Measures the power factor Distortionmeter: Measures the distortion added to a circuit Electricity meter

  4. Current sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

    In electrical engineering, current sensing is any one of several techniques used to measure electric current. The measurement of current ranges from picoamps to tens of thousands of amperes. The selection of a current sensing method depends on requirements such as magnitude, accuracy, bandwidth, robustness, cost, isolation or size. The current ...

    They were the first instruments used to detect and measure small amounts of current. André-Marie Ampère , who gave mathematical expression to Ørsted's discovery, named the instrument after [ 1 ] the Italian electricity researcher Luigi Galvani , who in 1791 discovered the principle of the frog galvanoscope – that electric current would ...

  6. 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.

  7. Rogowski coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogowski_coil

    The picture shows a Rogowski coil encircling a current-carrying cable. The output of the coil, v(t), is connected to a lossy integrator circuit to obtain a voltage V out (t) that is proportional to I(t). A Rogowski coil, named after Walter Rogowski, is an electrical device for measuring alternating current (AC) or high
