I'm building a regulated power source to make some test with a circuit.
I want to get 60 VDC at 2 or 3 Amps. The input is 220 VAC from a wall socket.
I use an AC voltage regulator like this: http://i.suntekstore.com/office_cache/261/14002157/3630000011315196964_14002157_2_image.jpg
to step down 220 Volts AC to 60 Volts AC. The AC regulator is able to carry 3,500 Watts. I've just purchased a bridge rectifier rated at 1000 Volts 50 Amps (KBPC5010). The output will be 60 Volts DC because in the AC voltage regulator I will adjust the output for 60 Volts AC.
My question is how I can know the amperage that is drawing the 60 V DC. I've a multimeter but the maximum amperage is 10 Amps. I think the amperage will be much more than 2 or 3 Amps, So how I could to step down the amps to 2 or 3?
