Ohms not current (amps) indicate continuity. If you have no continuity then you will read an open line condition (OL on meters). If you have continuity you will have some type of resistance reading in ohms.
0 ohms would indicate continuity
0 amps indicates no current flow.
80 feet of 14 AWG wire has a resistance of about .2 ohms. So at 15 amps the voltage drop across the length of wire is about 3 volts. With 120 volt service, this should be fine. If you up the wire size to 12 AWG, the voltage drop would be 1.9 volts.
"Amps" is a steady thing. There's no such thing as "Amps per hour".The current through a 24-watt load is[ 24/the voltage across the load ] Amperes.
A pool pump motor which is drawing half the amps listed on its nameplate can indicate a problem with the windings or a lack of incoming current. Pumps will only draw as many amps as are required to operate under the current load.
Registering 2 amps on an electrical meter could indicate that there are two separate circuits drawing 1 amp each, or it could mean that there is a single circuit with a total load of 2 amps. The meter simply sums up the current flowing through each circuit it is measuring.
In a three-phase 225 amp panelboard, each phase will carry 225 amps. This means that the total current flowing through the panelboard is distributed evenly across the three phases, allowing for a maximum of 225 amps on each phase at a time.
They allow the user to test: Volts (AC and DC), Amps, Ohms and basic continuity.
A: Only if the current is very small and the scaling very large. Like trying to measure micro amps on amp meter
Amps (amperes) measure current flow in a circuit, showing how much electricity is flowing. Watts measure power, representing the rate at which energy is consumed or produced. In simple terms, amps indicate the amount of electricity flowing, while watts indicate how much work or energy is being used.
A; By using a voltmeter across a small shunt resistor
Increase resistance.

12awg will handle about 20 amps, so 10awg should handle 25-30 amps. Keep in mind that length plays a role in wire size selection. In house wiring, a wire run of 50 ft will work for 15 amps at 14awg, but increase the length to 100ft and you should use 12awg to carry 15 amps correctly.
To figure out the amps in an electrical circuit, you can use Ohm's Law, which states that Amps Volts / Resistance. Measure the voltage across the circuit and the resistance of the components in the circuit, then divide the voltage by the resistance to calculate the amperage.
The Fluke T5 is voltage continuity and current tester, meaning that its purpose is to test the voltages, ohms and amps of electrical devices used primarily by electricians.
80 feet of 14 AWG wire has a resistance of about .2 ohms. So at 15 amps the voltage drop across the length of wire is about 3 volts. With 120 volt service, this should be fine. If you up the wire size to 12 AWG, the voltage drop would be 1.9 volts.

On a 1kva you have 1000 watts capacity. To fine the current the formula is I = W/E. The secondary side of the transformer has the capacity of 1000/120 = 8.3 amps. In your question you do not put the amps across the secondary you draw amps from it. Using the transformer to its maximum, without overloading it, the primary will be 4.16 amps at 240 volts and the secondary will be 8.33 at 120 volts. <<>> voltage times amps equals wattage
