Clamp ons are realy made for the mains panel, I made up a 12"

accuracy to 0.01A Digital you need to go to an electric supply house HD

digital is good for finding shorts , many houses loose to ground and
people dont know it.

My point precisely--JimL was trying out his new meter on his PC and I
was just noting even if he splits the power cord he's likely to not get
anything meaningful...

Ahh...thats where you take your clamp on, and use it with your 10 wrap that
you can buy that allows you to plug into the outlet and then plug into it.
