Default Re: measuring voltage and current with a multimeter

One more observation. The 5 volt line is not a single line on my system its actually 6 lines, combined they can carry up to 50 amps but I am going to assume that no single line will ever actually carry 50 amps. There is no way to forsee how much current any wire will carry

I'd presume that it would be total amperage divided by the number of lines. IE the amperage would be split up over each line.

as for finding out the total amperage, I'm not too sure on how you'd actually do that..
