I have just verified some measuring devices from 0mA upto 180amps. I got taut how to do this and part of the phase I dont understand i.e on the higher ranges (i.e above 1amp test phases) I had to switch the Agilent desktop multimeter to mV, which had a coil of 20 wraps. So if you set the Agilent multimeter to 9,000mv this equates to 180.000.00mA (180Amps). How is this so? Why does setting the multimeter in mV alter the result you get to Amps?
In what way do Amps have a relation to mV?
Many thanks to all replies
