Why a 5amp. rating ammeter is connected to secondary side of current transformer?

The maximum current output of a CT is 5 amps. Connected to a meter this will be full scale. What ever the ratio of the CT will dictate the scale face on the meter. A 500 amp CT's output will be 5 amps at 500 amps on the buss. 250 amps on the buss, the CT will output 2.5 amp or half scale on the meter face.

What is easier to measure volts amps or watt?

If you have the right test equipment amps are the easiest to measure. A slip over the wire amp meter is easier to use than a clamp on amp meter. The other two values have to be measured by using test leads from the test equipment.


What would drop the amps on 220 plug?

The amperage on a circuit is governed by the connected load. If a load changes its current draw it can be detected by an amp meter connected to the circuit.


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 unit of measure is used to measure current?

Ampere is the unit used to measure the current.
