Re: Measuring motor current (anyone tried this?)
Using a fluke with a clampon dc ampmeter and the peak record function would be the easy way. I have a 50 amp shunt that gives 50mv full scale that I use to make these type of precision measurements. The clampon dc ampmeter for the fluke is fairly expensive. I have also put a .01 ohm 20 watt resistor in series and done the same thing.
