Marc,

Most DC clamp on current probes or meters will read either AC or DC.

If it does not say DC, there is little chance that it does.

You can get a very functional AC unit for less the 100$us.
You better be ready to shell out 300$us for a DC/AC probe or unit.

If you do not need accuracy, look up a KD tools 2423 They go in the
10-20$us range and are better than a guess.
