I'm trying to find out what current my space heater uses. Says 1500 watts;
that's about 12A. I have a clamp-on current meter. Is there a trick to
using one of these on a power cord or do you have to have some kind of
adapter to split the power cord lines?

Any way to do this to make it simple? I have some other thinfs, like a
radio, that I'd like to measure too. (Trying to run my space heater and a
radio off the same receptacle.)

The easiest way it to just use one of those heavy duty extension cords
that look like great big zip cord (sold for A/C units). Them you just
split out one of the conductors. The advantage is it is still an
extension cord. A short one is going to be cheaper than that adapter.

It won't work if you clamp around the full cable.

A clamp on current meter must be clamped around only one of the wires in the cable. You could modify an extension cord by splitting the wires apart so you can clamp ONE of them.

the radio shack meter I have came with an adapter to do this

That's what I did. The heater probably draws too much current for long
term use on a normal #16 extension cord, but it's OK just long enough to
measure current.

Or get a KillaWatt meter, so you can test anything with a cord and plug.
Also, it measure power, ie it accounts for power factor, not an issue
in a pure resistance heater, but if it's a blower, motor load, power
supply, etc, it makes a big difference. Measuring amps with those wont
give you power.

You have to split the lines, or one side cancels the other out. HTH

've only read a dozen out of the50 or so replies, so don't
know if it's been mentioned, but this is _exactly_ what
a "kil-a-watt" plug-through meter is used for.

KAWs are widely available for about $30 - including at
such places as HomeDepot, Bed Bath and Beyond,
and...
and Harbor Freight.

Advantage of HF is there are 20 pct off coupons
available pretty much everywhere.

You have to split the lines, or one side cancels the other out. HTH


Current does not flow in a vacuum; if it did you'd get shocked.

It'll flow if the voltage is high enough.

Are you AC or DC?



liar

Your dying brain is making you do this.

there's nothing wrong with my health i lied just to keep you telling me
about yourself

Liar. LOL

you wish and if it is a lie it worked it showed you're a liar ,
notice the only replies your getting today are telling you how stupid
you are that's because you know nothing about electricity and its
getting proved that makes you a liar

Show me a post that shows I know nothing about electricity. I've only
been making my living that way about half a century. If someone
disagreed with me, you'd hardly be the one to have a clue who was right.

Any way to do this to make it simple? I have some other thinfs, like a
radio, that I'd like to measure too. (Trying to run my space heater
and a radio off the same receptacle.)

TIA



Using line splitter, I found my Ideal Split-Jaw Smart-Meter clamp-on
meter will not read less than 0.6 A. so can't measure my radios' curret
usage, but measured the heater's 12.5 A OK. I think it is around 500 mA.
Ideal is the first eter I've had that had a minimum measurement cut-off.
I can unerstand maximum but...

I think my UEI goes down to .1a but to be frank, if the current is
that low I really do not care. If I was really interested at that
point I would use my Kill a Watt or the Fluke "in line" meter that
gets down to 100s of micro amps.
You will also find a radio or anything else with an amp in it responds
to the volume control. The louder it is the more current it draws.

You must turn the radio up to 11 to get a reading. ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ

psychopath of sci and scj and Usenet's famous sexual cripple, making an ass
of herself as "jew pedophile Ron Jacobson (jew pedophile Baruch 'Barry'
Shein's jew aliash)", farted again:


Are you AC or DC?

YOU are both.

YOU are NEITHER, you hilarious housebound incapacitated sexual cripple! BG

The top 5 truths about poor dumb Razovic, our colostomy bag wearing resident
psychopath, aka "The Rectum":

the desperate psycho can't SLEEP anymore,
she can't get out of the house anymore,
she got NOBODY to talk to anymore,
she can't **** anymore,
she got no life outside Usenet AT ALL!

Instead of just one turn, put more turns through the jaws. Devide the
current shown by the number of turns.

Ahhh! I didn't know that! Makes sense though. I'll have to remember that
trick!

That trick also works with ferrite beads when you are limiting common
mode noise.
