Checking Power Consumption in Car: Fuse in Meter with Attached Picture Setup Explained

Question

I have a pytanko I connect as in the attached picture and I have a fuse in the meter. Why?

piotrek22101 · Answer

Do you measure on the ignition switch off? Maybe the collection is greater than 10 Amp.

Strumien swiadomosci swia · Answer

Do not turn on the ignition.

wtełek1 · Answer

Power consumption higher than 10A and that's why the fuse is burning The second reason may be the ignition turned on, and when you try to start with the meter it is not at all

onepiotr · Answer

At the moment of connecting the power supply, some components of the car are started and the momentary initial power consumption is considerable. So at the beginning of the test, connect the meter and connect the power supply, and then remove the jumper.

I guess that it is out, but what is the reason the car normally fires, but aku unloads in a twenty-minute, I do not know what is the matter and how it will remove

What car.

How can you disconnect the alternator and check then.

Adamcyn · Answer

Very valuable tip. If the current was above 10 A all the time, you would notice.

klepka-l · Answer

When connecting the meter, make a jumper (green) as in the picture, then disconnect it and then it will show you what is the power consumption at rest. Because the devices need some energy when connecting the voltage source, eg capacitors must charge, on the radio and other devices

olo122771jedrek · Answer

c200 2004 alternator also disconnected may be the right meter in the meter

Adamcyn · Answer

We think so too. Do as in the picture above.

thank you all for professional advice tomorrow I will see and write with which cat greet everyone and thank you

Adamcyn · Answer

We also greet you and the cat

onepiotr · Answer

It's a pity you did not write about this unloading at the beginning.
This car is most likely equipped with an electric heater. If it discharges the battery in 20 minutes, nothing else will do it without making a fire in the car. The heater has its fuse under the hood. Damaged (compact) control system causes that it is at work immediately after connecting the battery. The controller is a fixed element of the heater.

Hello, do not do anything yourself if you have no idea how to go about it, preferably from books if you already.

Massive O. Penetrato · Answer

Do not connect the meter directly. Use a measuring bypass, eg this one

https://sklep.avt.pl/bocznik-pomiarowy-100a-60mv.html

which you include in a series of klam. And with the meter you measure the voltage drop on the shunt. You know the value of the current from Ohm's law. When the current flows 100A, the meter will give you 60 mV voltage drop on the shunt. As 100A is too much (and little sensitivity), use a smaller one.

No vin, please. We'll see what's in the C classroom

onepiotr · Answer

Preheating the air here is supposedly not here. Sometimes the heater was installed in engines, but there is no need for CDI.
Disconnect the candles. Controllers of glow plugs fell here, only then they did not heat at all. Maybe it's another case

Hello, I know the old thread, but I have one related question.

And is it possible to connect with a meter instead of an unfastened negative clamp and a positive one?
I think so, but I'd rather ask.

I am asking because in my car, I have not seen a negative clamp yet

it is hidden somewhere in the back.
I will probably see it when I have to replace the battery and then I will have to disassemble it all.

However, from the shore, I only have access to the plus one.

This is what it looks like:

SlawekKedra · Answer

Yes, of course, you can use a plus point.

artaa · Answer

You can also use an appropriate meter for currents that flow in cars, i.e. the clamp.
As a rule, you do not need to unfasten anything, connect, etc.
And you can see the entire process of increasing and stabilizing the current after connecting the battery / turning the ignition switch.
