Re: Measuring motor current (anyone tried this?)

YOu don't need to make the wire that small, you can use normal size wire, the important thing is to control the gage/length of all four, so you get useful results. The longer the wire, the more voltage drop. Try a relatively short length and see if you can measure it accurately
