Upgrade your Multimeter! How to measure 200A High Current using 20A Basic Multimeter & DIY Shunt

#ErCanEverything #Upgrade #Multimeter
‪@DjaniAgain‬
⚡️In this video i showed you how you can measure high currents with your 10A or 20A multimeter.
Because I did not have a large consumer and my power supply is up to 18A, so the test was a maximum of 18A.
You can put as thick a cable as you want needed, but it must be calibrated as I showed you in the video.

I did something similar but I put the probes on "com" and "amp". My multimeters read max 10A and with that way amp reading was droped. I calculated the factor of ampdraw of a stable system with and without the shunt and then with the shunt I can check any system multiplying the reading with the known factor. BUT now I ll probably do it your way, more accurate. Thanks!

Can also be made by measuring millivolts dropped over the shunt, that's the way I made mine.

Clever trick! 👍 Using Schunts you can make a current meter for pretty much any range. If you are tight on budget, by this method you can save money from expensive DC current clamps. 💵💷💶

[@ErCanEverything]

I didn't think it would measure so correctly but it surprised me. For higher currents you have to make a thicker shunt and just change them. Thank you Brother🙂🤝

[@emildan772]

You didn't measure 200A. That shunt will not be able to support 200 Amp's.

[@kuhrd]

The only issue with this is you will want a far bigger shunt for 200A since this shunt is going to heat up fairly decently at 200A and then your accuracy goes out the window. This will work in a pinch though in leu of a dedicated say 400-600A shunt meter

[@robertnuckolls4349]

Agreed. Copper has a profound positive temperature coefficient which will cause your meter to read off calibration high as current through the wire warms it up. Precision ammeter shunts are fabricated from manganin alloy. A mixture of metals with a near zero resistive tempco. But yes, at levels much below 50 or so amps, your technique is 'gud nuf for guvment work'! Nice video.

Thank you🙂

Very nice

nos haría el favor y nos deja como se hace la formula para cortar la cantidad de longitud de cable de cobre le a gradecería el ejemplo de e video

[@fajariqbal4573]

can the rshunt made in this video be used on a digital volt ammeter,

[@welderart81]

Very nice brother....careful calculation

[@ErCanEverything]

Thank you my Friend🙂🤝🤝🤝

[@valtersouzaribeiro761]

Bom dia parabens

[@ErCanEverything]

Thank you. Have a nice day🙂

[@lualv2655]

No es inseguro utilizar un multímetro para medir semejantes corrientes, si ya existen las pinzas amperimétricas.

[@arvand26]

need test for car battery 😅

[@iutu8235]

wrong way: you made a coil!

[@ErCanEverything]

When I calibrated it was a U-shaped wire. If you like you can leave it that way and it won't be a coil anymore🤷‍♂️

[@unglaubichuberlieber8048]

you have to display your ignorance...i know it is your right...take some laxative and losen your brain cells
