I have a 40 amp shunt and 40 amp ammeter. This is a new install and the ammeter is not working.
I have checked the polarity and it is correct.
The shunt has four terminals. Two for the main power and two for the ammeter.
I can't remember why (parts on hand?) - but I connected the ammeter wires to the main power terminals. Since it is just a brass bus bar I didn't think this would make any difference in connecting the ammeter wires.
Am I wrong? Is the fact that I didn't connect to the two smaller terminals the reason my ammeter is not working?
Any other ideas?
