Hi!
matter is rather simple, well probadly most of you, but i'm confused in this matter. I bought this following item, and i have it currently. 50ADC meter along with shunt resistor. What i don't understand is the function of shunt resistor. If i read schematic correctly, it shows to install ammeter in parallel with resistor, and other bigger screws in shunt resistor are for main current. But, why is the ammeter in parallel? could someone tell whole story behind shunt resistor and whether i understood this whole right at all...
yes i know, ebay probadly isn't best place to buy this stuff, but i couldn't fine even ONE 50ADC meter locally, or even from europe.
