Hi Paul,
No way. You only see a tiny bit of the actual spike.
You can not see the peak power that way, even with many peak
reading meters.
It takes a fast meter with a long storage time or a storage scope
(or one with long persistence and high intensity and horizontal
sweep off) to see the real peak.
