Clamp meter adaptation?????

[Jay Sparks]

So, Ive just bought a new clamp meter. Now, if I wanted to measure the current for say, a micro wave, I would have to strip the flex back enough so I could get the clamp round one cable only....
Now I have just seen that in America, they have an adaptation that plugs into the socket, then the appliance plugs in to it and you can clamp your meter to this adaptatation and take a reading without having to strip/cut the flex...
So...is there anything on the market over here that does roughly the same thing?????

Sorry if there is and everyone but me knows about it....but I havent ever used or seen one of these before.

Cheers

Jay

Its quite easy to make one yourself for less than a fiver.

just make your own with a plug top, bit of stripped flex and a 1 gang socket and surface box at the other end

I would just look at the rating plate and save a fiver, but then i'm tight.

I've got one in my tool-kit I made up over 10 years ago, very useful for checking the leakage on suspect appliances.

This is what I was thinking of making but I just thought there might be something out there pre made.
