Hi, I have a voltage regulator with 13.8V and 4-6A output. I measured the voltage output using my multimeter by tapping to positive and negative terminals, to make the output is 13.8V, and it does. How can I measure the current output to make sure the current out is 4-6? Thank you.
 

Connect a DC ammeter which can measure 10 A in series with the power supply and load. For example if yout load ia a circuit board which takes 13.8V power then connect ammeter + to + of power supply and - of ammeter to +Ve power input pin of Circuit board. Negative of power supply and Circuit board (load) will be grounded. Don't try to connect ammeter without a load.
