A volt meter in series, wont it get cooked? I sure think so. Don't overlook the voltage regulator. If you are using an external regulator this could be the issue.


The voltmenter won't get cooked as it only measures a difference in voltage, not amp dram. It could be a 1000 amp draw and you could measure the voltage potential difference with you $9.95 Harbor Freight VOM meter w/o any fear. (do it every day)
