I'm a little suprised with your response iwire. I do have reason to be using the ammeter,

sysrq no need to be surprised, it is not code compliant to size your circuit based on the ammeter readings.

The NEC spells out specifically how to size the circuit and it has to do with the label.

An ammeter is for troubleshooting, not circuit sizing. [Linked Image]
