480172 AC Line Splitter, 120V 15A, 1X and 10X Multiplier | Clamp meter accessory, 1X/10X loops, voltage test jacks, safe current measurement, rugged

Descripción

Product Description The Extech 480172 AC Line Splitter is an essential diagnostic accessory for anyone using a digital clamp meter. Normally, clamping around a standard appliance power cord yields a zero reading because the magnetic fields of the hot and neutral wires cancel each other out. This line splitter solves that problem instantly by safely separating the internal conductors, allowing you to get an accurate current reading without ever having to cut, strip, or compromise the cable's insulation. Simply plug the splitter into a standard grounded 120V wall outlet, plug your device into the splitter, and clamp your meter around the loop. Engineered for absolute versatility, this device features two distinct measurement loops. The 1X loop provides a direct, real-time AC current reading for loads up to 15 Amps. For smaller electronics that barely register on heavy-duty clamp meters, the 10X multiplier loop magnifies the signal by ten, guaranteeing high-precision accuracy on low-current devices. Furthermore, the unit features built-in voltage measurement jacks so you can safely insert standard multimeter probes to verify line voltage at the exact same time. Compact, durable, and incredibly easy to use, this electrical testing adapter is a must-have addition to the tool bag of any HVAC technician, electrician, or serious DIYer looking to audit appliance power consumption safely and efficiently. From the Manufacturer Allows any clamp meter to measure AC Current on a 2-wire or 3-wire power cord to 15A without the need to cut off the plug and separate the conductors. Plugging the power connector into the Line Splitter separates the hot/live conductor from the neutral (and ground). Two clamp positions: 1 for direct readings and x10 for actual reading multiplied by 10.
