It is a voltmeter which can only measure direct current.
A: It is a regular DC voltmeter but the AC is rectified and the DC component is measured and displayed as AC VOLTS.
Red wire from a regular DC voltmeter should be connected to :
The primary application of a digital DC voltmeter is to display the amount of DC current present in a circuit. This is particularly handy when troubleshooting problems.

You cant.
voltmeter
There is no volt meter or amp meter in a DC watt meter.
Any standard voltmeter but however the voltage to be measured must be stepped down to a safe value using a Potential transformer.
power i.e current and voltage or ammeter and voltmeter
Here we will just connect DC generator shaft with motor's rotating spindle. Now connect voltmeter across dc gen. and just calibrate voltmeter in terms of rpm. If you have worked with micro-controllers then it will be very easy using it's ADC input.
You will not get a measurement. depending on what kind of measuring device you use the socket could begin to smoke and the voltmeter will fly out (happened to me).
Auto parts store is the best place. Check the section where they have battery supplies.
