What is a multi range ammeter?

A multi-range ammeter is an instrument used to measure electric current across various ranges, allowing for greater versatility in testing different circuits. It typically features multiple settings or scales, enabling the user to select the appropriate range based on the expected current level. This facilitates accurate measurements without damaging the device or affecting the circuit. Multi-range ammeters can be analog or digital, with the latter often providing a more straightforward readout.
