I am not an electrical guy but I am very confused about something and I hope the community can help. I am trying to get my multimeter to read the amps out of my wind generator. I have done a bunch of online research and I can't seem to get it to work. I am sure it is something very simple but I am at a loss.
I have placed the multimeter in line with the generator and the battery, I have even tried to put in a 10ohm resister at one point in-line and took out the bridge rectifier. No matter what I do I can't get an amp reading with the multimeter. I have tried both meters I have as well, thinking maybe something was wrong with my meter.
I can get a voltage with the meter. I have a bayite DC 6.5-100V 0-100A LCD Display Digital Current Voltage Power Energy Meter Multimeter Ammeter Voltmeter with 100A Current Shunt which when I hook it up I get all the necessary readings I just don't believe them.
