This is used for just measuring the current...
for large currents in tramsmission lines(busbars) current Transformers are used.

Can you install 100 amp service in 200 amp meter base?
No, each size service needs its own meter base.
What is the sign for amp on a volt clamp meter?
A
What is used to measure the intensity of current flow in a circuit or branch in a circuit and is wired in series with the circuit being evaluated?
An Amp Meter
Can you install a 150 amp meter base and still have a 100 amp main panel?
The wire size in a meter stack is governed by the size of the first over current device.
How can you measure the electrical units?
Electricity is measured with a volt-ohm-amp meter.
What would be used if really low current was being measured?
To measure very low amperage a milli amp meter would be used or the milli amp scale on a multi meter.
What is a amp meter?
a meter for amps
What is the name of the meter that is used to measure current?
Electrical current is measured with an "ammeter". (The unit of current is "ampere". Measure it with an 'ampere-meter' ==> 'amp-meter' ==> 'ammeter'.)
What Do Amps Measure?
You can measure the electrical current with an amp meter. Amperage measures the current flow.
Can you install 100 amp service in 200 amp meter base?
No, each size service needs its own meter base.
How many voltmeter and ammeter are in dc watt meter?
There is no volt meter or amp meter in a DC watt meter.
Will the voltmeter work when ammeter is connected wrongly in a circuit?
The volt meter should work. The meter is connected across the supply where as the amp meter is connected in series with any load that it is metering. On larger installations to measure the amperage, a current transformer is connected around the conductor to be monitored. If a CT is used then the polarity has to be observed when connecting to an amp meter.
What is the sign for amp on a volt clamp meter?
A
Can standard amp meter and oil pressure gages be used on negative ground systems?
I answered my own question. Thanks
Do amp meters measure power when device on circuit is turned off?
An amp meter measures current flow, not power. An amp meter measures instantaneous current either by being inserted in series with the wire being measured for current flow, or clamped onto a single current carrying wire and measuring current flow by induction. If the load is disconnected then no current will flow and the amp meter will read zero.CommentThe correct term is ammeter, not 'amp meter'.
An amp meter measures?
Amperes of electrical current.
Can I install 200 amp panel using 200 amp meter?
yes The meter rating is the maximum, if you use it on a smaller service that is OK from a code point of view. However, the local utility company may also have special rules about which meters pans can be used on which type installations. You may need to check with them
