Does anyone make a multi-line in and multi-line out amperage meter? I can find single load gauges all day. However I would like to be able to monitor each load line individually, but having one central display for total load from all sources is fine.

It won't cost much, but right now it looks like I'll have to have a display meter for each single load and I would prefer to maximize space and wiring if I can get a central unit of some sort.

Something like this, but for 4 load lines instead of 1.

There is a selection of this type around. Now I see you want to see all in one place. Perhaps a selector switch for each pickup.

So dumb question if I got a display gauge like I linked and I connected that too the powerline going into my switch box technically I can monitor and test each individual load line coming out of the switch box by simply only turning on each switch one at a time but also be able to test complete load capacity by flipping any number switches or all of them are correct or incorrect?

To clarify the type of switch box I have distributes the power to each load line and it is not a connector for just closing the loop.

A trigger fuse engages my relay then the relay feeds power to the box (internally fused circuitry), finally the box sends power to the auxiliary component with engagement of the switch..

So if I install a monitor gauge between the incoming juice to the box it should update and change with each switch engaged yea?

I'm thinking of a switch more like this. Each pickup is wired to the switch. The output of the switch goes to the meter. No total read, just one at a time.
