Many are listed as AC-DC clamp meters because they will measure DC voltage... but only AC current. Finding one that also does DC current is quite a bit harder. Z On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 12:02 PM, Peakfoto Digital Photo Still n Video < k...@peakfoto.com> wrote: > > http://www.homedepot.com/p/Kle

I use the Craftsman #82369 400A AC/DC Clamp Meter which is about $65. It's only accurate to about 2.5% in the 100A range, but that's good enough for me. On Sep 25, 2013, at 12:02 PM, "Peakfoto Digital Photo Still n Video" wrote: > http://www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-Tools-400-Amp-AC-DC-Digital
