Measuring current above 10A

Another method is to use hall effect current sensors:

30 Amp AC or DC

75 Amp AC or DC

Just read the DC voltage output of the sensor with your DMM and do the math to determine the current flow.

I use a old fashion current shunt like the below to measure higher AC or DC current by just reading the millivolt voltage drop across the shunt with a DMM and then some basic math. Works for AC or DC readings.
