Message definition (Multimeters)
Not all multimeters can take AC and DC current measurements, but for work with PV systems it is important to find one that does. There are two different ways to measure current with a multimeter, this is explored in the section - [[#Types of multimeters|types of multimeters]]. When working with a PV system, current measurements are typically taken for teh following reasons:
*To check if there is any current flowing in a circuit before beginning to work.
*To understand how the PV module or array is functioning. How much current is it producing under the conditions?
*To understand power consumption for a system or various loads within a system.
*To understand the flow of electricity. If the system is feeding a heavy load, what circuit or device is using the energy?
