Indeed, they used very cheap (€40) clamp ammeter (DIGIMASTER DM201) that can only measure AC current in very limited frequency range at 50-60 Hz. But if there are spikes in the feed, it may measure even 50% too low values. However, I think that spikes would show up in voltage meter. It can measure also DC current, but with separate DC settings of course. So could it be plausible to feed DC-current along with AC and clamp ammeter would not notice a thing? Then only conducting wire's capacity could limit how much electric power Rossi is feeding into E-Cat. –Jouni http://www.zetabishop.it/product/8630/Pinza-Amperometrica-Digimaster-DM-201-VCA-ACA.asp
