Tutorial DC Ammeter (July 2010) 1. Based on figure below, the basic meter has internal resistor of 1.

5K and full scale, Ifs=60A. the PMMC have a range of 10mA (switch 1) and 50mA (switch 2). Calculate the shunt resistor Rsh1 dan Rsh2. (8M)

(Dis 2010) 2. A meter movement is to be used in the design of single range DC ammeter. The voltage acoss the meter movement is 50mV. If the current through Rsh is 99mA, calculate the value of shunt resistance required for the DC ammeter.
