Bill,
The ammeter shunts I pointed to are used on single engine aircraft in
accordance with Federal Airworthiness Regulations. I expect they are
reliable enough. All ammeters have shunts, either internal or external. When
the shunt is external, the heavy current does not need to come into the
cockpit.

I have a problem with the concept of automotive ammeters.
Should anything go wrong with the shunt, all power shuts off.
Is that shunt not just one more link to possible failure? Bill Huck
