E.2.0 Units of measurement in electrics<br />
E.2.3 Measuring electric current<br />
Electric current can be measured directly using an amperemeter.<br />
To this end, the measuring instrument must be connected between the lines in series.<br />
When measuring larger currents, an indirect electricity measuring instrument should<br />
be used for safety reasons, e.g. a clamp-on amperemeter.<br />
Note the<br />
setting!!!<br />
Current intensities of up to 2 ampere direct current can be measured with the amperemeter.<br />
Anything above that, as well as alternating current, should only ever be measured using<br />
a clamp-on amperemeter!!!!
