How to measure the motor current with a multimeter?
If the range is enough, connect in. But don't agree with it, or buy a clamp meter or CT, after the two terminals of your multimeter access on CT. Directly into series, in case it is a big motor, it is dangerous.
Measurement of alternating current. The measuring method is the same as that of 1, but the gear should be switched to the AC gear. After the current measurement is completed, the red pen should be inserted back into the "V" hole.If the measuring range is enough, measure according to the above method. Does not recommend the use of multimeter with clamp current meter to measure the motor current recommendations. Safe and convenient.
Measurement of direct current. The first black probe into "COM" hole. If the measured current is more than 200mA, will be the red pen into the "10A" Jack and the knob to direct "10A"; if the current measurement is less than 200mA, the red pen into the "200mA" Jack will knob to the appropriate range of DC within 200mA. When adjusted, it can be measured. String the multimeter into the circuit and keep it steady until you read it. If the display is "1.", then to increase the range; if the numerical left "-" appears, indicates that the current from flowing into the black pen multimeter.
