An electric oil pressure gauge works by using a sensor, typically a pressure transducer, that converts the mechanical pressure of the engine oil into an electrical signal. This signal is then sent to the gauge, which interprets the voltage change and displays the corresponding oil pressure on the dial. The gauge is calibrated to show accurate readings based on the voltage variations, providing real-time information about the engine's oil pressure. This system allows for more precise measurements compared to mechanical gauges, which rely on direct pressure to move a needle.
