Unfortunately neither of the last two posts have understood what I was suggesting.
All I suggested was that by connecting a bridge rectifier to a DC current meter then it can be used to measure AC current.
Thats actually what meters use to measure AC current.
I dont have any programs to draw circuits but if you think of a bridge as having two AC inputs then they are placed in series with the item whose current is to be measured and then the + and - connections are used to connect to the meter.
