WILL THIS METER PERFORM DC AMP DRAW TESTS?

Yes it will. AC or DC. Just clamp unit around positive conductor and select proper current on meter.

Will this meter measure the DC current being drawn (like, from a battery)? YES!Just remember, it is a digital meter, so it is better suited to measure steady current. If the current fluctuates, the digital readout may look to be jumping all over the place.

Yes, AC and DC amp measurements via the clamp only. So you will not be able to measure smaller currents using leads. I will add that I've been getting quite accurate readings down to the 1-2Amp range which is great considering the two range selections are 40A & 400A. I love it for the price but for mA current you'll prob need a meter w current leads. (In defense of this unit though; clamp meters were designed for higher current apps...) Hope this helps. JD

Yes, this would be an excellent use for this tool. Be sure to check a known power source such as a receptacle to ensure the tester is working properly.

Sir, according to the user manual, you can test up to 10 amps (DC only) however, for every 15 seconds of testing, you must wait 15 minutes between tests in order to allow the meter to recover from that level of current. You can download the manual here, just click on the "Download Manual / Software link"Hope this helps.http://innova.com/en-US/Product/Detail/3320

I believe this meter unit works for up to 7500 running watts. It sounds like yours is 6000 running watts with a surge of 7000 watts. Yes; this will work for you.

Sure, but it will only measure the AC side of things. If you want to measure the entire RV, you'll need to attach it to the main feed wires going into the distribution panel where it will see power from any source (generator, shore, inverter). To measure power going to/from your battery bank, use meters designed for DC (with an appropriately sized shunt) and place them for either incoming (charger, solar panels, etc.) or outgoing (to the inverter or the DC breakout panel) power. For simple DC voltage measurement in my RV, I use one of these http://www.amazon.com/VoltMinder-Digital-Volt-Meter-Batteries/dp/B001IQ1XW4

I do not know of any meter that does that. To read DC Amps, you have to remove a lead wire from it's termination point and attach one of the leads from the meter to the wire end. Then you attach the other meter wire to the now vacant termination point. In short, the meter acts as a part of your power wire.

Yes, it will test a three prong receptacle. In fact that is the initial design-to test regular receptacles. The button is to add in a test for GFCI recptacles.

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.
565526
Yes. The manual indicates the following tests: AC/DC voltage & current (amps) measurement, resistance measurement (ohms), diode test, continuity test, and battery test.
544569
Yes. If you put the meter in the circuit so current will flow through the meter.

This is a simple Volt Ohm Meter. It works, and was quite cheap. I use it for small projects like testing battery status, but it might work fine for your task. Obviously there are many available at Amazon that are of much higher quality, but the price will be more. I would expect you should be able to test areas of your circuit to see where current is still being applied when the switch is off. Do take notice of the ratings for what it can handle.

Update on my previous answer since I now have a new meter to measure all DC current draw on my vessel. With all 5 lights on, they draw 1.1 amps of DC power...That is a very low current draw!! I am adding 2 more this winter.

Yes, it will. Make sure the battery (in the tester) is fresh, and the electrodes on the tester are clean.
2227911
Yes. I have used it to measure DC voltage to the tenth of a volt many times.

Yes, that will work. The meter reading will indicate the value of the power source voltage. Instant battery voltmeter if that's what you want.

The max output of a usb will widely vary depending on what you attach to it. If you are using this to just measure output from a non-usb thing, this meter may not work at all. For example, if I use a special charging cable that is not a data cable, this meter does not work.

I did not try this into Amperes yetBut I am SURE this multi meter will measure even a .001 ac or dc Volt
