Suggest circuits for linking an analog amp gauge to the output of a 200 amp auto

alternator for measuring output under load. ? links ? commercial units ?


Here's what you need, It is a shunt that you put in series with the
output of your alternator. You then can run small diameter wires to the
meter in the dash. They carry very little current.

This page has a schematic, it is wired to measure battery current, you
need to put the shunt were it will measure alternator current.
See the last page.
