Ammeter through a wire which expands as it heats. Although these instruments have slow response time and low accuracy, they were sometimes used in measuring radio-frequency current. These also measure true RMS for an applied AC. In much the same way as the analogue ammeter formed the basis for a wide variety of derived meters, including voltmeters, the basic mechanism for a digital meter is a digital voltmeter mechanism, and other types of meter are built around this. Digital ammeter designs use a shunt resistor to produce a calibrated voltage proportional to the current flowing. This voltage is then measured by
Electrical Artificer closure 1998 an amount of EA's were trained in the Irish Army Apprentice School and transferred to the Naval Service on completion of training. Rank on completion of training is 'Able EA', followed by promotion based on experience and training to 'Leading EA', 'Petty Officer EA' and 'Chief Petty Officer EA'. The highest possible rank is 'Warrant Officer EA' of which there is only one in the Irish Naval Service Electrical Artificer An Electrical Artificer (EA) is an electrical technician competent in the electrical maintenance of ship's machinery such as engines and generators.
