Popping fuses and melting wires
#15
Yep. Most meters are only rated to 20amps or lower, including my expensive $300 fluke. You will pop the fuse in your meter guaranteed. You can try using inline fuses and stepping them down from 40amps to get you in the ballpark. I know of no fan that exceeds 40amps. Also keep in mind most fuses are buffered appx 10%. So a 40a fuse wont pop until 44a. I use this method when troubleshooting circuits that exceed my meter capability.
