There are also 'clip-on' Hall-Effect probes.  About $80, and work with any DVM.  I have a Fluke, but someone else makes it for them (I used to know but today have 'old-timers').

Subject: (ET) Current measurement

I have 
been frustrated by the lack of quantitative current readings on my E-20. 
 It's a thing that follows scientists and engineers around, I guess, but I 
want numbers!  The lastest Home Power magazine has a neat article on a 
series of Hall Effect sensors that can be placed over a single conductor and 
measure current from 1 to several hundred amps.  It takes a couple of op 
amps and an analog meter with a calibrated scale or a digital meter.  Check 
it out.  The sensor manufacturer is ampsense (www.ampsense.com).
