    1. The internal resistance of the ammeter may be too low for the applied voltage and you could pass too much current through the ammeter -- and destroy the ammeter.

    2. You might also cause a fire from the "flash" that might occur.

    Most high quality ammeters are protected against very high voltages the most common result is that a fuse is blown. Nevertheless, the potential for problems is there.
