Fixture to safely measure mains AC amperage

<< < (7/7)

5U4GB:
The downside of the plastic line splitters is that they're fairly bulky and won't work with smaller current clamps, which can't close around them.  There's various DIY alternatives where people wire separate lines between rewirable plugs and sockets, leading to concerns about mechanical reliability at the plug/socket, lack of earth wire in some of them, and use of the same-coloured wire for active and neutral in others.  What about coming in from the other direction and getting a short extension cord with moulded-on plug/socket, stripping a short length of the outer insulation from it, and clamping around the inner insulated conductors?  It's losing one layer of insulation, but avoids all of the problems with the DIY rewirable-plug setup.
