Most multimeters with AC and DC capabilities are for voltage,


The one I purchased does both. To quote the product description: "The IDEAL 61-747 TightSight™ Clamp Meter is a CAT III 600 V rated auto ranging true root mean square (TRMS) digital clamp meter that measures up to 400 Amps AC and DC current via the clamp head.


Oh! Cool! Just checked it... seems to be nice! I have allways thought the clamp meteres used to be for AC Only! I have one, but is just AC as far I recall.
