Step ONE - to utilize volt and ampere meters to see inside the wires -
This is actually not all that easy ... the current is just too high for ordinary meters, yet too low for hard core industrial meters.
And then our very own Pieter of 4x4Direct set about importing some meters. First batch was roaring success, and sold out in no time. I got some meters from the second batch.... sadly Murphy had a hand in this shipment and the meters and shunts were mismatched .... Pieter immediately set about re-ordering. But Murphy was sure to upset the apple cart, and the 3rd batch had the exact same mismatch as the 2nd batch.
But Murphy does not know the fisherman from the West Coast we call Pieter ...

Pieter now dug his heals in, and ordered a batch of note, and this has now cleared customs and is already installed in Elders

This time round Pieter elected to order THREE different types of meters, each with the correct shunt:
- 20A - 50A - 100A
