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

    The ammeter is used in series with the load, so the same current flows through the load and the ammeter. The voltmeter is used in parallel with the load, so the voltage between the two terminals of the load is equal to the voltage between the two terminals of the voltmeter. Ideally the measuring device should not affect the circuit parameters i ...

    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 ...

  4. Voltmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltmeter

    A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. It is connected in parallel . It usually has a high resistance so that it takes negligible current from the circuit.

  5. Ammeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammeter

    Demonstration model of a moving iron ammeter. As the current through the coil increases, the plunger is drawn further into the coil and the pointer deflects to the right. 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 ...

    Ammeter and Voltmeter on a power supply. Electrical measurements are the methods, devices and calculations used to measure electrical quantities. Measurement of electrical quantities may be done to measure electrical parameters of a system.

  7. Open-circuit test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-circuit_test

    Circuit diagram for open-circuit test. The open-circuit test, or no-load test, is one of the methods used in electrical engineering to determine the no-load impedance in the excitation branch of a transformer. The no load is represented by the open circuit, which is represented on the right side of the figure as the "hole" or incomplete part of ...

  8. Voltameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltameter

    A 19th century version of a voltameter. A voltameter or coulometer is a scientific instrument used for measuring electric charge (quantity of electricity) through electrolytic action.

  9. 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.
