Ammeter Wiring with Current Transformer Diagram (CT Coil)
How To Wire Ammeter With Current Transformer (CT Coil)
In my last post, I guide you about the ammeter wiring which is only for low load and in this article you will learn how to wire an ammeter for high load or High ampere testing. In this post, I am sharing with you a diagram in which I wired an ammeter with a current transformer which is well known by its short name CT Coil.
By using the ammeter and CT coil we can measure the high-load ampere, Note that we use this wiring method for power wiring and by using this ammeter wiring we can test, and measure the high-load circuit or ampere.
To wire the ammeter with the current transformer, follow the below method, in the below diagram I have shown how to wire the ammeter with the CT coil. The CT coil has two terminals which are negative and positive – and +. The same ammeter has two terminals – and +. To wire, the ampere meter connects the CT coil positive to the ammeter positive terminal and CT negative terminal to the ammeter negative terminals by using the electric cable as shown below figure.
To measure the ampere using the ammeter and current transformer pass the electric supply wire between the CT hole as shown in the above diagram. Note that pass only one wire between the CT Coil.

I hope now you will be able to do the ammeter wiring after visiting this site, for more updates and learning stay tuned with us.
nice knowledge..
Thank you dear…….
how much ct coil costs for single phase ratings ? 🙂
how much ct coil costs for single phase ratings ? 🙂
Can I connect two CT coils to one ammeter, to measure two current phases and obtain the total power consumed by the load?
you must install ammeter selector switch for this. i published a post about this you can find it just from our website search. search "ammeter selector switch" and you will find out.
I'm very thankful for you bcz I have learnt very much from you and Hope will continue sharing new things thank you very much
I wanted to thank you for this excellent read!! I definitely loved every little bit of it. I have you bookmarked your site to check out the new stuff you post. digital force meter
