Is one place better then another for the location of the electrical shunt 

in the electrical system?   Thanks Dale

    Ammeters and voltmeters are diagnostic tools. They

    have little or no value for operating the airplane.

    When it comes time to diagnose a mis-behaving system,

    you will undoubtedly need measurements at more places

    in the system than any single set of points selected

    for panel mounted voltmeters and ammeters.



    If you have the space, have the instruments and want

    to install them, it's my recommendation that voltmeters

    read the e-bus and ammeters read alternator output

    as a loadmeter.



    This philosophy is illustrated in most of the z-figures.

    No doubt there are other opinions backed up by a

    range of personal preferences . . . but when it comes

    time to take advantage of any voltage or current readings

    to fix something, you'll probably be prowling around all

    over the system with your multimeter.
