This project could present some potential dangers if it is not handled properly. 

- Short circuits or currents that are higher than 10A on the meter could damage the equipment and/ or generate domestic fires. 

- Negative voltages on the measuring output of the meter are not allowed. The entire board and all the electronics in it are reverse polarity protected through the D101 diode, but negative voltages on the output might damage the shunt and other components. Please check the maximum ratings chart posted in this project. 

- This device was designed for the purpose of learning and helping others learn about these things. Do not base industrial processes on it. Do not use this for military, aero-spatial medical or automotive applications. This device was not designed or tested for these purposes.  

- Do not connect this device at the mains. Do not even begin to imagine trying to measure AC~ 110 -240V with it. It was not designed for this. Failing to comply with this might result in electrocution, death, injuries, shop equipment damage and/or fire. 

- The designer of this device (AKA me) assumes no responsibility for any inconvenience that might result out of misusing this design.
