** Mains current waveforms are VERY interesting, but not if all you can
see is 60Hz. A Hall effect transducer is needed to do the job properly.

The one is use is by LEM and has response to 100kHz, allows me to see
currents as low as 1mA and up to 100A peak.

I used to like using a Tek Hall sensor probe. I liked it checking DC shorts
on boards.
