The lowest amperage range on the VOM should be used to measure milliamps. To get a very accurate reading a digital VOM should be used as an analogue VOM usually loads the line that it is reading.
You could use a range of 0-1 amp or 0-10 amps. 90 ma. = 0.09 amp, so on a 0-1 amp scale, it would read 9 full division up-scale, or on a 0-10 amp scale, it would read 0.9 division up.
To measure a DC current in milli
amps the VOM would need to be on the milli
amp
scale.
The first one.
Induction is the principle operating mechanism of transformers, so any voltage and current output of a transformer - a volt or less to hundreds of thousands of volts (I think the top AC voltage in the world right now is near 1,000kV), and milliamps to thousands of amps.
A multimeter device can measure resistance, current, AC/DC voltage, and it also can determine continuity on an electrical circuit, and its range for current, voltage and resistance is widely variable.
Your total milliamp range is 4 to 20 milliamps. 4 Ma being 0mmH2o and 20 Ma being 2500mmH2o. So 1250mmH2o is 50% which is equivalent to 12Ma signal.
A ammeter (not 'current meter') will read currents up to the maximum value indicated on its scale (analogue instruments) or its range setting switch (digital instruments).
These are used with low range ammeters to measure current in HVAC 's where direct connection of instruments is impratical. They not only insulate the instruments from HV lines but also step down current in a known ratio. ( i .e . ) Iline =(I1 \I2) * Ammeter Reading where Iline = Line Current I1 \I2 = Current Ratio
the AC-A ~A Range is safe, or for high resolution the mAµA~ range, if it is shure that there is no more than 300mA
185 milliamps.
The dangerous amount of current is not in the amp range but in the milliamp range as per the following. One amp is equal to 1000 milliampsMilliamps are dangerousLess than 1/2 milliamp no sensation1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillationover 100 paralysis of breathing.
It will display either the current cell or a name of a named range if that range is selected. If the range selected is not named, then the name box show the cell reference of the active cell.
The normal current when the telephone is off hook are about 25 milliampere. The current may vary in a wide range depending on the length ow the line, and what kind of equipment used. Less than 23 milliamps may cause the electronics to not operate properly, but it should usually work from 18 milliamps, old rotary phones may sometimes cope with even less. If the current exceeds 60 milliamps, it may ruin some telephones and modems, but they should cope with the double. Most equipment works best around 25 milliamps. If you have echo problems heard in both ends, the high current may be an indicator on the end who generates problems.
multimeters generally measure volts Kohms milliamps VOM LCR meters measure inductance capacitance and resistance Q requires 2 at once and probably a frequency range you may care about

It can be referred to as the current cell or the active cell or just the selected cell.
You will see it in the Name Box. It will have the cell reference in it, or the name if a cell or range has been named. The header of the current row and current column will also be highlighted.
In most instances the answer will be no. Fusing of equipment is usually in the range from 250 milliamps (1/4 amp) up to what ever amperage fuse is needed to protect the wire feeding the load.
