Fluke makes AC/DC clamp on current probes. I use a model Y8100 on the
job. It'll read up to 200 amps and outputs a proportional voltage that
can be read with your VOM. Good Stuff, but prolly pretty expensive.
I'm pretty sure that my Fluke 77 will read up to 10 amps directly. The 87
I use at work reads up to 10 amps.

| I've been looking for an Amp meter for auto/bike work; something that can handle up to 30-40 amps DC. One of those clamp over the wire meter would be nice but they only seem to come for AC work. Most DVOMs only handle small amp readings (milli-, micro-). I do have an ancient Sears multi-purpose Auto tester unit (rpms, volts, dwell, amps) that will read high amps but it is a pain to set up for a single reading. Even HF&S sells Flukes these days; can't remember if they are remanufactured or not. Bruce Jim Beeler wrote:
