AMP meter questions
I installed Van's AMP meter in a project that is not yet flying. I originaly asked about a problem I was seeing when I keyed the mic on com1 and com2. I found that I had wired the leads to the shunt backwards. I reversed them to proper.
Now I get a reading of positive 10 amps. When I key the mic I get neg 40amps.
This is without the engine running. Is this the correct readings? Seems a little high.
