The scale of each meter manufacturer will be different. You'll need to refer to the owners manual to determine the proper setting.

Remember that an ammeter is used INLINE with the electrical device to determine current draw. Do NOT put the test leads of an ammeter across the two leads of the service voltage.

How do you convert micro amps to amps?

To convert microamps to amps, you need to divide the value in microamps by 1,000,000. This is because one microamp is equal to one millionth of an amp. So, if you have a current of 500 μA (microamps), you would divide 500 by 1,000,000 to get 0.0005 amps.

Can a wattmeter that has a current through its current coil and a potential across its voltage indicate zero?

A: Only if the current is very small and the scaling very large. Like trying to measure micro amps on amp meter


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.
