How to measure DC/AC AMPS using a multimeter (Current)

Description

Your video is the best explanation on amps reading I have met on YouTube

This was very helpful in determining how long my 12 volt DC LED light strip would last in my portable ice house. Thanks

[truesimplicity]

Perfect explanation, both clear and concise thank you

[everythingispossible]

Good knowledge brother .
I like your video

[NeillWylie]

Great video with clear instruction. Thank you.

[TheEnglishRedneck]

Very clear, straight to the point. Thank you!

[TheBsavage]

Thank you. I just needed to know what wire went where. Really, just a simple diagram would suffice rather than making a video about such a simple concept. I can glance at a diagram in <500 ms. I actually tried that, reading, but people wrote horrible, long-winded "instructions" that were not only too wordy, but they were riddled with errors too.

Do only the more expensive multimeters have the capability for measuring A/C amperage?

[jessmariontravina]

Sir polarity doesnt matter when measuring dc and ac amps?

[msound]

So when the measuring AC has used the minus cable? DC one is use the power/plus cable ?

[Nnip]

Wow. Very informative and useful. Question. This probably shows the limits of my knowledge of electricity but how come the alternating current part of the test is not blowing up or burning out the LEDs with the 120 volts? Thanks.

managed to accidentally connect hot to neutral trying this on 240 volt.. welded my prong to the screw i touched 😂 live and learn ig lol

[hekasoram]

why do you need to break the circuit with that probes and not with the clamps? can't you just put the probes directly tocuhing on other clamps/wires of the LED?

[aerodriguez]

I want to use clamp meter to measure amperage from adapter to LG monitor that only uses 2 amps. Can I use Cen-Tech 6 Function Mini Clamp Meter from Harbor-Freight which is for AC current or do I need a DC current clamp meter? (I don't want to cut the cord from the adapter to the monitor.)

[quintana]

when you are measuring the amps, you put your meter to your line that is coming from your panel or you put it to your neutral that. is coming to you panel....

[rasmidtan]

did u just touched the ac wire with your finger!? omg

[dumbidiot]

Do I need something on the circuit for this to work like a light?

[tobytomic]

but how do we know which current is DC or AC with multi meter ?

[adityas.lifestyle]

How come dc led strip worked on ac directly? 🤔

[faeisakaun]

how to test ac current with multimeter???
