If it's a split-phase system with centre-tapped transformer, then two ammeters are needed, one on each side.

To connect a current transformer (CT) to an ammeter, first ensure that the CT is properly installed around the conductor whose current you wish to measure. Then, connect the secondary terminals of the CT to the ammeter, ensuring that the polarity is correct (usually marked as positive and negative). Make sure to use appropriate burden resistors if required, and verify that the ammeter is set to the correct range for the expected current. Always follow safety precautions to avoid electrical hazards.
In a neutral current transformer (CT), the primary function is to measure the neutral current in a three-phase system, which helps in detecting ground faults and unbalanced loads. In contrast, a phase CT measures the current flowing through a specific phase conductor. The ratio in a neutral CT is typically higher to accommodate the combined current from all phases, while phase CTs have a ratio that reflects the current of their respective phase, ensuring accurate monitoring and protection for that specific phase.
Two ways to connect an ammeter, You can use a direct reading type, by connecting the ammeter in series with the load. You can use a current transformer type or CT. The current transformer looks like a wire wrapped donut with two terminals on its side with a hole through the middle. you pass the wire carrying the load through the center. Connect the direct reading meter to the two terminals. A CT type meter allows you to measure higher currents.

A CT's secondary winding must never be open circuited as it may provide a shock hazard to the user. The terminals to which an ammeter is connected to a CT is normally provided with a set of links that must be closed, short-circuiting the CT, beforethe ammeter can be removed. The ammeter must the be reinstalled before the shorting links are reopened.
A selector switch is normally used in a place to avoid 3 ammeters usage and instead measuring current in all the 3 phases using 1 ammeter only. Motto: SAVE MONEY.. :D The selector switch provided for ammeter is to check the amount of current taken from each phase supply. (ie) R,Y and B. Each phase supply should be covered with a current transformer with the rated amps capacities. The two leads of the the each phase CT are connected to the respective leads in the selector switch of the ammeter.
Yes, as long as the burden of these ammeters does not exceed the VA rating of the CT.
CT together with a ammeter is used to measure the current in high current or high voltage circuit, where a normal ammeter can not be connected in series in such high voltage or high current circuits. It is a secondary winding (like in transformer) wound on a single core primary wire and relative secondary current reperesnets the primary current. CT are also used protection purposes. Basic principle of CT i same either for metring or protection.

In measuring high AC currents a current transformer with a suitable rating say 100/5 or 1000/5 are used. The secondary current is usually 5 amps when the fulload current of 100 or 1000 as the case may be is flowing in the mains. It is the univerasl practice to use CT's for measurement of AC currents. In DC circuits the transformer method will not work, so to increase the current that you can measure you can allow a known amount of current to bypass the ammeter and recalibrate the ammeter. In other words, put a shunt in parallel with the ammeter.

Current is the amount of electrons flowing. An ammeter reads this value. Typically an ammeter will be placed in series to measure this flow; there are also "clamp on" ammeters that use a small CT. When placed around a wire, the power flowing in the wire will induce a current in the CT, allowing measuremnt without lifting wires.
