Some meters will read D.C. current on an A.C. setting.

Give a link to one, and show that it is accurate.

Try it and see for us . The archival data says it's possible; If it's not just flipped over to one side, there's a chance it's reading the D.C. current on A.C.. Only the Hall effect sensor will act this way. Some one with a "Hall Effect" clamp meter can get some concrete results fast.

Unless someone has the exact same meter Gerard is using we still won't know anything.  One meter may be accurate reading DC when set on AC and another may not.  And even if we find that a meter like his is accurate that still does not address the problem that nothing he says makes any sense to anyone that has actually worked in the field.

@citfta,

Nice to see you over here. Most meters would just read zero on the wrong scale. The fact that he's reading something indicates there my be a measurement. He should have placed it on the D.C. scale in the first place.

Here is the meter Jerard is using-the modle is quite easy to see when the video is viewed in full screen.
So he is trying to measure a DC current using a meter that reads only AC current
