Review on πŸ”Œ Enhanced Amprobe ELS2A AC Line Splitter by Anthony Gupta

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A handy little tool for my tool box

I stumbled across this tool while looking for a kill-a-watt meter. I didn't need the ability to register Kill-a-Watts and didn't like some of the Kill-a-Watt reviews that indicated that some of these devices tend to melt when used with high current cells, but within the specification . Devices. That's the last thing I need in the house. I just wanted to get an idea of the power draw of some higher wattage devices at startup and stable operation. I already had a current clamp, so it was an inexpensive solution that gave me exactly what I wanted: a few measurements and then move on. Zero: Think of the hot and neutral wires as "in" and "return" respectively. (I know this is technically incorrect.) This probe splits the line so you can only get current readings from one side. The 10x part is handy for low power measurements. I've gotten plausible quick readings from things as disparate as a toaster oven and a USB hub power supply, but I haven't tested it against a calibrated current, so I can't speak to its accuracy. The device makes a reliable impression. It sticks out further than Kill-a-Watt, but I only use it to take a few measurements on the device before plugging it right back in. I guess I'll be using this in a much wider range of settings than Kill-a-Watt (outdoors, for example). This way, you can only get current readings from a page.
