Matt,

I had a similar problem a couple of years ago when trying to figure out 
the windings of a high current transformer from a band saw blade 
welder.  I got readings that were all over the map, and often 
inconsistent from one application of the test leads to the next.

I solved the problem by applying a 1K ohm power resistor across the 
meter terminals.  It seems that the high impedance  digital meter was 
sensing all kinds of transients off the line and giving false readings.

HTH,

Dave
