Since the current in a series circuit is the same all the way, the current
measure with the ammeter is also the current flowing through the resistor.
If the ammeter was wired in parallel, part of the current would branch
off into the ammeter, part into the resistor, and we can not have an
accurate reading of the current in the circuit.
Since the ammeter is in series in the circuit it must has the lowest
resistance possible.
If it has very much resistance at all, it would increase the overall
resistance of the circuit and change the current what we are
measuring.
Voltmeters
Voltmeters are always wired in parallel to the circuit.

Multipliers
A high resistance in series with a galvanometer is connected, to limit the
current flowing through the meter so that it does not exceed the value for full
scale deflection and thus prevents the instrument from being damaged. Such
a resistance is called multiplier.

Ohmmeters
The purpose of an ohmmeter, of course, is to measure the resistance
placed between its leads. This resistance reading is indicated through a
mechanical meter movement which operates on electric current. The
ohmmeter must then have an internal source of voltage to create the
necessary current to operate the movement, and also have appropriate
ranging resistors to allow just the right amount of current through the
movement at any given resistance.

The megger
Megger is a portable instrument which is used to measure insulation
resistance of the electrical machinery or system. It can be battery operated or
mechanically operated (hand crank dc generator) and gives direct reading in
ohms.
An ohmmeter designed for measuring high values of resistance (i.e.
megohms) is called an insulation resistance tester (e.g. Megger).

(1) Deflecting & Control coil : Connected parallel to the generator,
mounted at right angle to each other and maintain polarities in such a way to
produced torque in opposite direction.
2) Permanent Magnets: Produce magnetic field to deflect pointer with
North-South pole magnet.
3) Pointer : One end of the pointer connected with coil another end deflects
on scale from infinity to zero.
4) Scale : A scale is provided in front-top of the megger from range zero to
infinity, enable us to read the value.
5) D.C generator or Battery connection : Testing voltage is produced by
hand operatedD.C generator for manual operated Megger. Battery /
electronic voltage charger is provided for automatic type Megger for same
purpose.

Wattmeter
The wattmeter is an indicating type instruments, generally used for
power measurement of the electrical circuit . A wattmeter consists of
(1) a low resistance current coil which is inserted in series with the line
carrying the current and
(2) a high resistance pressure coil which is connected across the two
points whose potential difference is to be measured.

Energy meter
An energy meter is a device that measures the amount of electrical
energy consumed by a residence, business, or an electrically powered
device.
The most common unit of measurement on the electricity meter is the
kilowatt hour, which is equal to the amount of energy used by a load of one
kilowatt over a period of one hour, or 3,600,000 joules.
Energy is the product of power and time for which power is used (i.e)
Energy=powertime
