I would think your meter can measure more than 200 ma. Again, I've never seen a multimeter measure ac amps. Not saying yours don't. Could you post a pic of your meter? George [Reply]   [No Email]

This is definately a first for me, a Radio Shack meter that measures AC milla amps, DC milla amps and no 10 amp range. All I would do with this meter is measure resistance, ohms, AC and DC volts. The amps scale, for the average person, is worthless, sorry to say. HF has a similar meter for little to nothing, yes nothing, they sometimes give them away sometimes. I get them and give to guys at Christmas as stocking stuffers. HF meters are accurate enough for 99% of the guys that work on tractors, trucks and cars. It can measure 10 amps DC. HF also sells an ammprobe for around $20 if you need to measure large AC amps. It too can measure volts and ohms. I keep one in my truck along with HF volt meter. I also have an old analog radio shack meter in truck, just in case it's very cold. Can't trust a digital meter when left in the cold and you bring it inside to measure voltage. The condensation screws up the meter readings. George [Reply]  [No Email]
