Re: Measure 100 amps with 10 amp meter ?
Thanks for all the suggestions. As a cheap solution I followed SDOLD's suggestion. I used a cheap multimeter that can read 200 mV. One lead is connected to the start of my positive bar (1/2 in copper tubing) and the other is connected to the same bar about 5 ft away, at the same point where my anode jumper connects. The only disadvantage is that the jumper going to my anodes must always be connected (welded) at the same point, so I had to make it a little longer to be able to reach all plating tanks. Accuracy is only 95 % at the low and high end but pretty damn good from 5 to 95 A. A reading of 1 mV = 1 A.
I will eventually buy a good shunt.
