AC Line Splitter
Model 480172
Operation
The Line Splitter provides a means to cleanly “open” a standard 120V AC
line cord in order to make clamp type current measurements. When
connected between the 120V AC 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.
Current Measurements
1. Plug the AC Line Splitter into the 120V receptacle
2. Plug the line cord from the load into the AC Line Splitter socket
3. Close the Clamp-on jaws around either the X1 or X10 arm of the
AC Line Splitter
4. If the X1 position is used, read the current directly on the meter
5. If the X10 position is used, divide the meter reading by 10 to
obtain the actual current
Voltage Measurements
1. Plug the AC Line Splitter into the 120V receptacle
2. Insert the multimeter test leads into the two Voltage Test jacks
3. Read the voltage on the multimeter.
