Short circuit and ground faults generally are pretty rapid rise in current and unless there is too high of supply circuit impedance to limit the amount of current the OCPD often trips faster than many meters would be able to accurately display that current, though some might have a capture feature to show what the peak might have been after the fact. Even an analog meter you might see rapid rise but chances are that needle never reaches the actual peak before the OCPD opens the circuit as it would be too slow of a mechanical response to be able to do so.
