Current Clamp and Line Splitter
Line Splitter
The supplied Line Splitter provides a means to cleanly “open” a standard 120V line cord in
order to make clamp type current measurements. When connected between the 120V AC
wall outlet and the device under test, the Current Clamp can then be clamped on one of
the two test openings in the Splitter. One opening provides a one-to-one current reading
and the other provides a times-ten (X10) reading so that small current will display with
better resolution on the clamp meter.
