Quote: I'll agree that there are advantages to having an ammeter, but I have to say that running a full amp load with no shunt through 30-40 year old wiring isn't all that safe in my book.
You don't have to choose one or the other, you can keep your ammeter and shunt the high current past it with an active shunt, see here (or, for a quick/lite description, see here).The difference is that Mad Electrical's method amounts to "Haw haw, stupid Mopars, crappy wiring I don't understand because I'm a Chevy-head...rip it out and hack in a voltmeter instead, haw haw haw", while the method linked above amounts to improving and optimizing the original design. I know which one sounds better to me. |
