dseverson, your post on meter reading setting does not make a lot of sense to me. Is it set to max A/C reading and if so is that 500V A/C? The statement of 2000ma is confusing unless your measuring current. If you are at 500V A/C it is understandable as Terry indicated that your meter will not read the voltage present as it is too high.
Go back to Terry's post #17 so you can measure each leg (plate) to the chassis. It should cut the voltage in half and be within the range of your meter.
Best, Jerry
