Abstract
A self-powered ammeter is disclosed. A metering circuit receives an a-c current to be tested and then generates a d-c voltage whose magnitude is proportional thereto. A display circuit receives the d-c metered voltage and provides a visual indication of the magnitude of the measured current. The current to be measured also drives a current transformer which, in turn, has an output burden circuit which produces a regulated power supply for the metering and display circuit components.
