Digital LCDs meters in my opinion are a bad choice especially around SSTCs
and VTTCs where they may be used in close proximity to the running coil.
I have a bunch of 0 to 200A simpson meters with 200A:5A current
transformers, but thats too overkill for your application.  Ebay usually has
some
good meters from time to time.
