Measuring AC & DC Current
Current is simply defined as a flow of electrons running
through a conductor. To measure current, you must
break the circuit under test, and place the meter in series
with the circuit. The current measuring range of the
meter is 10A max.
How to measure: First, turn off the power to the circuit
and discharge any high voltage capacitors. Place the red
lead into the mA or 10A terminals in accordance with the
value to be measured. Select one of the buttons
,
or .
When
& are selected, place the red lead on
mA. When
button is selected, place the red lead on
10A.
