Re: Quiescent Current Measurement without Current Clamp

Steve, I could well be incorrect but isn't the volt drop going to stay the same in automotive because everything is essentially a 12V circuit (excluding PCM controlled circuits)? In regards to the original issue here, this all seems very complicated compared to simply volt dropping fuses to find a c...

Re: Quiescent Current Measurement without Current Clamp

Steve, my understanding is you’re advising using the starter amps to establish the resistance of the negative battery cable for closed circuit current testing? If so, I’m sorry my man, but you missed a basic factor of ohms law here: using the starter (160amps+) to determine the battery cable resista...
