Does this MultiMeter actually measure AC . If so, How do you convert from DC to AC ?

Yes, it measures AC voltage. I am not sure what the second part of your question means. AC and DC are totally different beasts. If you have AC you can't probe for DC, and if you have DC you can't probe for AC-- this is true regardless of your meter, unless there are meters that can automatically detect that your current is one or the other. In the US, your device will receive AC and will either supply AC or DC or both to different parts of your circuit. Part of most consumer electronics is a power supply that converts AC from your wall outlet to DC. To convert DC to AC you could use an alternator.

Yes, you can measure both AC & DC voltages up to 600 volts. When measuring resistance (ohms), the circuit/device is normally not powered. As far as I know, this meter doesn't measure AC impedance (like DC resistance).

Yes but you do not say is the output on your current transformer AC or DC. If DC then no this is AC to AC

It is AC only for current, and only up to 100 amps like it says in the specs. Wire that is big enough to handle 240 amps won't fit in the jaws anyway. I have carried this meter for 14 years as an electrician, and it does 99 percent of what you would need. Very fast read, too, which is nice.I also have this one that does do DC current:http://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-2236-20-Clamp-Meter-Refridgeration/dp/B002EL4LAI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1429118708&sr=8-1&keywords;=2236-20NST.

Only by using a clamp on amp meter attachment. As supplied it only does amp readings by inserting into the circuit. Fluke offers several clamp on ac, ac/dc, and varied current level "probes" as they describe them.

The AC charger converts the house current which is AC (alternating current) to DC which is direct current. This conversion is neeeded due to the design and motor function of the product. I hope I've cleared up any confusion!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you mean well it change DC to AC power the answer is no. It only supplies AC Power. There is no DC outlets on it.

Yes. You can search amazon for a current transformer, sometimes called a current tap. There are closed types that slip over the wire (usually cheaper) and open types that can be snapped around the wire like a regular clamp on ammeter. I don't know the ratio that you need for this meter. I suspect that it is a 100:0.1 ratio. This means that when the wire you are measuring is running 100 amps ac, the output from the current is 0.1 amp ac.If you are planning on switching between current sensors so that you can use one meter to measure multiple wires, you do need to be careful. The open circuit voltage on the current transformer can be dangerously high. I've been tempted to do this but have decided against it. Yes.

so far it doesnt seem to matter/ i ran it on 12 and 24 volts dc>but i have NOT tried IT ON AC?

There is no multimeter that isn't sensitive enough to determine this. However it is usually 24VAC, at least in the US but custom bundled transformer and bell sets may differ.

No. This is a fine meter which is more at home in the power distribution area than in the audio and RF signal strength area. Its lowest voltage scales are designed for 1 to 400V for both AC and DC. It's a good meter for its intended use which does not include micro and millivolt volt measurements. Input impedance circuits in meters like this are too low to measure millivolt size signals,

The meter has the sensor built into its back panel and it has a hole that the ac wire is placed thru to measure the amperage. You also need to supply 120 VAC to it to power the display.

It probably doesn't auto detect mulit-voltage sources. It's only using 110-120 volts.

Yes it shld read dc AC Current 0-40/400 AACAC Voltage 0-400/600 VACDC Voltage 0-400/600 VDCResistance 0-400/4KOHMContinuity: Sounds at 100OhmsFrom the detailed description

yes, you can test capacitors. I have tested 24v AC and I have also used the meter to test for DC voltage. I like the meter so far. It also reads temperatures.

The item I purchased is strictly DC and did not come with any AC adapters or plugs. I still have one in the package and just looked at it, there is nothing AC in the box.

Yes, it does measure milliamps. All multimeters test milliamps, in fact that is actually all they ever test. They read voltage by running the test voltage through different resistors, depending on the range setting. By measuring the current through a resistor of known value, the voltage can be determined by a simple calculation. I've found it to be accurate for voltage, therefore it would be accurate for reading milliamps.RichieDInexperienced technicians often burn out ammeters by running too much current through them, so be sure you know what you are doing before using it as an ammeter.

No, it does not measure millivolts AC, only goes down to tenths of Volt for AC. DC does measure millivolts. Yes it is accurate.
