Oh, I'm not worried, cuz you ain't usin' my VOM!
But, when you said...

... from what you wrote, I get the impression you may not be familiar with measuring current with a VOM.
Not to put too fine a point on my point,
but even in Canada if you connect the VOM (configured to measure current - as seen in the photos above) most meters will only handle 10 amperes.
So, if you go probing various places with one probe and grounding the other, 
you'll blow the fuse (at least).
Note: No offense to you if you're fully aware; but in case you are not, let me say it is a good idea to move the probe from the "A" port on the VOM back to the VOLT - OHM port as soon as you're done measuring current to minimize the chances of forgetting and attempting a voltage measurement. (Ask me how I know!) And, I recommend switching the VOM to "A" before connecting the test leads in series with the load to avoid arching the contacts in the VOM.
