Question:

Does this universal meter measure the output current of a direct current welder?

Does this universal meter measure the output current of a direct current welder?

Answer:

No, the caliper can only measure alternating current.
The clamp type meter measures current by measuring current with a current transformer. The DC current cannot produce an alternating magnetic field, so the clamp type meter cannot measure the direct current.
