Not very easily. A clamp on amp meter has to go around only one of the circuit conductors. If the clamp on meter is used around the power cord the two wires in the cord have a cancellation effect and the meter will read zero. If you can separate the load's wires that plug into the cord and clamp around that wire you will get a load amperage reading.

Why UPS is not charging on Inverter?
UPS (UNINTERUPTED POWER SUPPLY ) Its charg only AC current (Alternating current). and inverter provide current DC TO AC ( Direct current to Alternating current)
Why use AC to measure ionic conductance and why not dc current?
in order to avoid electrolysis
What is the var meter?
A VAR Meter is used to measure Reactive Power in AC Circuits - Pure reactive components dissipate zero power, which makes sense in a DC circuit, as a capacitor passes no DC current and an inductor displaces no voltage. Yet, in an AC circuit, the reactive components "seem" to dissipate power, as current passes through the capacitor and the inductor sees a voltage drop. This counterfeit power is called "reactive power" and is measured not in Watts, but in VARs (Volt-Amps-Reactive). Its mathematical formula symbol is "Q".

Give note on ac and dc voltages?
one note on Dc, and AC voltages? sure A DC is a Direct current, which means more accuracy and power. The device using DC power will maintain its action for longer with more accuracy. Whilst AC is commonly used for lights and other unimportant devices. That's the first note i could come up with. ------------------------ DC is direct current which as the name implies, the electrons (of the current) flow in ONE direction. AC is alternating current, which as the name implies, the current alternates and has a "useable/definable" frequency. AC has no definite terminal (Positive or negative) as the direction of the current always changes. This frequent switching can be seen as a sine wave.
What is a rectifier assembly?
A "Rectifier" is an electrical component that changes AC current to DC current by blocking current in one direction. High power rectifiers may be "assembled" from multiple individual component rectifiers to handle higher power or larger voltages.
Why the power cord be called in different place?
in north america it calls power supply cord,in europe it calls ac power cord
What type of power cord is required for a device that operates on 120V AC power?
The device that operates on 120V AC power requires a power cord with a standard 3-prong plug.
What IS AC power and DC power?
AC Power is Alternating Current whereas DC Power is Direct Current.
What is the AC power cord for the psp?
console and outlet
How electricity travels through power cords?
Electricity travels through power cords via the flow of electrons. When a power cord is connected to an electrical outlet, the electrons begin to move through the copper wires of the cord due to the presence of an electric field. The flow of electrons creates an electric current that can power electronic devices or appliances connected to the cord.
Explain differancnce between instrument current transformer and measuring current transformer?
Current transformer is a device used to measure the flow of current through a power system and the measured current is inputted to a protective relay system. It is used to detect system malfunction. Current transducer is a device used to measure AC and DC current based on the halt-effect technology.
How does an ac power source differ from a dc power source?
AC power sources are the adapter power sources. DC power sources are the direct power sources. DC stands for direct current, meaning it is a direct source of energy., and AC stands for alternating current, which means it is a secondary source of power.
What type of power cord does a sony dash have?
It is an AC plug that converts the household current to DC 9.5volts at 2.5 amps.
What is important when measuring power?
To measure power, you need the Voltage, and Current. In the case of AC you need the number of phases, and the power factor. Once you have these, you can find the proper formula.
Do you have a replacement power cord for an AC unit that needs to be replaced?
Yes, we have replacement power cords available for AC units that need to be replaced.
Which retailers sell AC Power Cord C2G?
There are a number of retailers that sell AC Power Cord C2G. There are many available to purchase on Amazon for around $5. One can also buy them from eBay and Best Buy.
What size power cord do i need to use if i want to use my generator to power my RV AC?
To power your RV air conditioner with a generator, you'll typically need a heavy-duty power cord rated for at least 30 amps, especially for most RV AC units. The cord should be at least 10-gauge to handle the high current safely. Ensure the generator's output matches the AC unit’s requirements, usually around 3,000 to 4,000 watts for starting power. Always check both the generator's specifications and your RV's electrical requirements before connecting.
