Answer / manoj sharma

We can easily measure AC currents by AC ammeters as AC
currents can be stepdown by current transformer and 0-1 A
current can easily be measured by ammeters. But in case of
DC current it can not be step down. For this a shunt (A
high resistance in parallel of the sorce) is used to reduce
the dc current. As you already know the source voltage,
I=V/R, this will give current through the resistane. at the
same time you knoe resistance of the wire in which high DC
current is flowing. V1=V2(In parallel arrangement)hence
I1=V2/R1. now Ammeter can be calibrated to show the current
R2/R1 times of it.Where R2 is the shunt resistance and R1
is lead resistance across which ammeter and shunt are
installed.

Answer / avd

DE current is measured through shunt. Shunt is a standered
low resistance. It is used in series in the circuit. Due to
series circuit, load current flows through shunt. Because
of this there will be a millivolt drop across the shunt
(ofcource depending on the current). This millivolt drop
across the shunt is measured and meter is calibrated in
terms of current.

The simplest way to measure DC current is by using DC
ClampMeter/Multimeter.
