Default RE: Measuring amps with clamp meter

If I am not mistaken, the Fluke will measure AC amps via the clamp as a coil.
Not easily adapted to measuring DC current above 10 amps without a suitable shunt.
Your better off springing for a Watt-Meter which will not only give you amps, but
peak watts, total mA draw etc. Makes thing a whole lot easier propping your
motor system properly.
