Which of the following allows you to make a DC current measurement when the expected amperage exceeds the internal fuse capacity of the meter?
A) adjust the meter to its highest range
B) upgrade the fuse
C) inductive probe
D) all of the above
DC Current Measurement
The process of quantifying the flow of electric current in a direct current (DC) circuit, crucial for electrical maintenance, troubleshooting, and performance evaluation.
Inductive Probe
A type of sensor used to measure variables such as displacement by generating an electromagnetic field.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
An inductive probe (also known as a current clamp) allows for the measurement of DC current without the need for the current to flow through the meter itself, thus avoiding the limitations imposed by the meter's internal fuse capacity. Adjusting the meter's range or upgrading the fuse does not safely allow for measurements beyond the meter's designed capacity for direct current measurements.
