Charging circuit - reduced load on ammeter circuit
4. You could use unoccupied slots in the bulkhead connector to run parallel wires to the OEM wires. This would take current load from the wires and from the connectors.
Our ammeters work on magnetics. When current passes through the shunt.
My meter with leads shorted. (Between 00.0 and 00.3 ohms)
My meter with leads on the ammeter posts. Between(00.8 to 00.9 ohms)
That puts the shunt at about 0.5 ohms
There is also a "U" shaped magnet in the stack the keeps the needle centered. When current passes through the shunt it creates a magnetic field and causes the V shaped plate attached to the needle to move.
