All good tools Jim. There is a lesson related to ham radio here with the clamp on meter. The AC mains is acting like balanced line and if the clamp is over both wires, it can only measure common mode current, not the circulating current. Both measurements are useful for RF & antennas. Your clamp meter will not work for RF, but the concept is the same. Good video! Hope your celebration was wonderful. 73 OM
Great video JIM . You did loose sound for part of it. As a electrician I have same testers and a lot more. Love that GFCI tester. I have the same one and a tripp lite one. I have a line splitter as well but tripp lite brand. I have several clamp meters . 1 rated 1000A . some do DC amps. Most do frequency HZ. Great for inverter testing and generator set testing. I have a outlet load tester that puts a load on it and measures voltage under load. The outher one does breaker test . Breakers in a home go bad often, The spring gets weak over time and contacts wear out. I have even a ground rod resistance clamp meter . It even checks for ground current. DC or AC amps. Which can be bad . I find faults all the time and fix them. For small AC amps you use the X10 hole and divide reading buy 10 , With DC clamp meters make Sure you zero them with no wires inside them. Even linemen use AC clamp meters . They have a stick holder for them. The ones buy me use bluetooth meters. They read on their phone and meter can be way up on a pole . 73
Nice presentation and inrush is a problem with capacitors not just inductors. Everything has some inrush and your point it can be quite great at higher voltages. Thank you.
I actually just ordered the AC/DC clamp meter Christmas eve. My old one she no worky any more. Did some testing on it. and II think it might have taken a bit more current than designed for.. Lesson learned, Don't lend tools to an idiot!
Bruh - I just looked at the source files - the audio is all there. I have no idea - my guess is YT somehow decided me mentioning @thesmokinape violated some secret rule??
is it me or did the video lose audio at 8:24 till 10:25
Same here.
Yep
Communism
Can confirm.Jeem better get his act together
Yes, apparently YT got offended because I said "danger cord"??? I have no idea, my upload file has audio all the way thru.
That Dingus is the best Dingus! Everybody should have that Dingus!

Very useful video. I always thought the clamp meters were expensive so I never bothered looking at them, but now I just might.

I should get one of those clamp meters. Thanks for sharing Jim
I always look forward to tool videos. Didn’t even know those line splitters were a thing. Thanks for showing it!
Home Depot and Lowes has them. Most electrical supply places sell them. Common electrician tool .
Right? That's why I had made a danger cord. Heck of a lot less sketchy!

Good point - that completely slipped my mind!
At about 8:30 the audio dropped out completely ... came back at 10:45
I have no idea what happened. The file I uploaded to YT is good.

bruh I thought my headphones died around 8:30 in 😃

Lost your audio near the 8:25 time mark - RV people....and gone..
Hmm - I have no idea what the heck
