I need to test both electric fuel pumps in my car. If the pumps are bad there is the potential that the current draw could be over 10 amps and both of my meters are limited to 10 amps. I have both a digital DMM and an old Simpson analog meter and they are both limited to 10 amps and although the DMM is fused at the lower current ranges, neither one is fused on the 10 amp range!
Why no fuses? If I made a test lead with a 10 amp fuse, would this protect the meter or will that not work and there is there something I'm missing, which is why the manufacturer didn't use a fuse in the first place?
