How To Install An Amp Meter DC Ammeter For Hydrogen Generator

How To Install An Amp Meter Ammeter For Hydrogen Generator

There are two basic kinds of DC amp meters (ammeters) commonly used on HHO hydrogen generator systems and knowing how to hook one up is most important if you do not want to short circuit the device or burn it up. The first type is an external shunt type amp meter that requires a shunt to be connected to the device in parallel to the circuit for which it is measuring the amps. If you connect this type amp meter in series like the non-externally shunted amp meter, it will self destruct instantly. The non-externally shunted DC amp meter is the simplest to hook up. Just cut the wire that you want to measure the DC amps on and connect it in series— one wire to one of the poles and the other wire to the other pole. On amp meters that require a shunt, you can usually tell this by looking at the face plate. Theres an icon diagram depicting the shunt in a circuit.

There are benefits in both style of meters. The external shunt meter can be wired with lighter gauge wire making it easier to run the meter from under the hood to the inside the vehicle

@alohadoc1 You've probably already figured it out, but for those reading now:

On Labella's website they include a diagram for easy installation. In that diagram they have the amp gauge shown connected to the NEGATIVE wire between the PWM and HHO booster.

your manual says to put the amp meter in line from the positive/hot side of the battery, but here you keep saying to the "ground" or negative.. Which is it?

just buy one with internal shunt make life easier

Thanks for the help LaBella's! I'm working on an e-bike and couldn't remember how my anmeter hooked up.

from the shunt bar do you hook one wire to hho positive and the other end of the shunt to ground?
