Not true. Read my reply to you - you quoted 79 dollars
for the clamp-on meter, but the outfit you mention that
sells it is in the UK. I went to their site, and the
price is 79 pounds - British currency. In dollars, it
converts to $145, not including the shipping from the UK.
That meter is obsolete and was replaced by the clamp on
meter I quoted. It's all in my reply to you.
I also did not pick a high end versus low end comparison.
I picked the cheapest true-RMS Fluke clamp on, and the
cheapest true-RMS Fluke DMM I could find. I don't know
how to make the comparison any more fair. And since
the Fluke clamp on that I quoted is the current
replacement for the Fluke clamp on you quoted, I
don't think you can disagree with my selection.
The only "vicrory" I claim is to have learned from you
about clamp-ons that are cheaper than any I had ever
seen before. I flat out did not know you could get one
that cheap (12.99 + 9.99 shipping). You were the one
who pointed them out to me. I thanked you for that -
and I thank you again. But please don't misunderstand
what I've said.
You on the other hand are just jumping on top thinking you have and ally
with ehjrs.....You are both wrong....
The OP needed an approximation and both of you have claimed he needs an
exact measurement.....
No, I did not say he needs an exact measurement.
I have repeatedly pointed out that the op asked
for 1) an approximation or 2) a means of determing PC
draw for himself and 3) he wants to know the draw
of other equipment such as audio mixers and music
sythesizers. The point is that the op asked for more
than an approximation, he also asked if he could
determine things for himself. That is where
measurements come in - determining things for
himself.
Neither of you have addressed the fact that after reading the post, he would
not be able to do the procedure you recommended and the price of it would be
more than hiring an electrician......Maybe you should buy one of those DMM's
ehjrs suggests for $2.99...I bet it's a jewel!
For whatever reason, you are misrepresenting what
I have said. I called that meter crappy:
"Speaking of crappy meters, Harbor Freight periodically
sells a cheap DMM (non true-RMS) for $2.99, including
the 9V battery."
