About This Product
Connected in series with a load, an ammeter shows how much current the circuit draws, for practical work in school and college labs. The fine-tuning button lets the dial be set before readings are taken, and the external shunt carries most of the current so the meter movement itself handles only a small part of it. Schools and distributors in Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Italy, Cambodia, Cameroon and South Africa can order the Ammeter from School Educational Instrument.
