Example types with ammeters
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Moving iron ammeters are commonly used to measure current in industrial frequency AC circuits. (14 words)
Early ammeters were laboratory instruments which relied on the Earth's magnetic field for operation. (15 words)
In a similar way, accurate AC/DC non-contact ammeters have been constructed using Hall effect magnetic field sensors. (19 words)
Ammeters are designed for a low voltage drop across their terminals, much less than one volt; the extra circuit losses produced by the ammeter are called its "burden" on the measured circuit. (32 words)
Application The majority of ammeters are either connected in series with the circuit carrying the current to be measured (for small fractional amperes), or have their shunt resistors connected similarly in series. (32 words)
Moving-iron Moving iron ammeters use a piece of iron which moves when acted upon by the electromagnetic force of a fixed coil of wire. (25 words)

Ammeters are designed for a low voltage drop across their terminals, much less than one volt; the extra circuit losses produced by the ammeter are called its "burden" on the measured circuit.
Ammeters must not be connected directly across a voltage source since their internal resistance is very low and excess current would flow.
Application The majority of ammeters are either connected in series with the circuit carrying the current to be measured (for small fractional amperes), or have their shunt resistors connected similarly in series.
Early ammeters were laboratory instruments which relied on the Earth's magnetic field for operation.
In a similar way, accurate AC/DC non-contact ammeters have been constructed using Hall effect magnetic field sensors.
Indeed, some Ammeters of this type do not have hairsprings at all, instead using a fixed permanent magnet to provide the restoring force.
Integrating An integrating current meter calibrated in Ampere-hours or charge There is also a range of devices referred to as integrating ammeters.
