The crude diagram represents a current limiting ("dim bulb") setup. The mains pass through a DPST light switch, then onto a duplex outlex, where the bridge between the Line terminals has been broken.
The box at the top (4 circles) represents a power strip which allows various bulb combinations to be plugged in.
My questions:
1. Is the location I'm showing the proper place to insert an ammeter or DMM if one wishes to know what the DUT is drawing?
2. Is a shunt needed here? - I don't really understand when one is/isn't called for
Thanks in advance to those who take the time to share their knowledge.
