Calculate the estimated inductance from the impedance it must have to limit
the current.  On a 15/30, the impedance has to be 15K/30m = 500 Kohms. 
Using 60 Hz, the inductance (calculated from X = 2 * pi * f * L ==> L =
X/(2*pi*f) ==> L = x/377) is 500K/377 or, about 1300 H.... somewhat beyond
the range of your inductance meter...
