[a] Input current is < 3A rms due to verification source.
[b] Current can be measured from 1 A to 10 A continuously, with an additional buffer of 0.3%. If the measurement of the signal is between
10 A to 20 A, current can be measured for 30 seconds maximum. After measuring > 10 A current, cool down the multimeter for twice the
measuring time taken and use the Null ( ) function to zero the thermal effect before proceeding for low current measurement.
