I've noticed many makes and models of dmms have a 10A measurement... what's so special about 10A that it became a sort of standard?
Well maybe the fast acting protection fuses used are limited in selections to 10 amps or less. Maybe the standard meter leads are only good for 10 amps before their voltage drop would effect the measurement accuracy too much. Maybe because 10 amps is a lot already and more should use special purpose meters?
