Amperage is measured by a multimeter. First determine the amperage rating on the multimeter. Next, select the appropriate setting on the tool. The next step is to set the range on the multimeter. Make sure to plug the leads into the appropriate terminals. Run the circuit through the multimeter to measure the current. Turn off the breaker, make sure the AC circuit is turned off, then rewire the circuit.

A better way to go would be to check the continuity of the compressor to ground and each winding.
