If you are worried, hire or borrow a clamp meter (preferably true RMS

Indeed, but not forgetting to get access to the live or neutral in the
cable and clamp round that individually, rather than the whole cable.

(one of my great disappointments using a clamp meter for the first time
many years ago; that you can't just clamp round a complete cable and get
a reading!)

I know _exactly_ what you mean -
"Huh - this thing doesn't work !"
reads manual
"Oh - I see g"
