Current measurement

Current measurement

The machine requires a relatively rare measure amperage.

To measure current, you must break the chain, and connect an ammeter to the gap. For this example, the plug may be removed and the red cable () ammeter is connected to the electric wire. Black (-) cable to be connected to the terminal, which is usually connected with a wire breakage. Contact between the mass consumer and the plug should be reduced by an additional conductor.

In no case is usually measured by an ammeter amperage wiring starter (150 A) or glow plug of the diesel engine (60 A). Emerging with high currents will destroy the device. To do this, use an ammeter with a clip for DC. This clip captures the insulation of the conductor and the current is measured by induction.
