Line Splitters  

Line Splitters provide a means to cleanly “open” a line cord in order to make clamp type current measurements. When connected between the wall outlet and the device under test, a clamp meter can then be clamped around 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 a clamp meter. These devices make reading current easy and safe.
