Triplett AC Line Splitter and GFCI Outlet/Receptacle Tester with 5 Visual Indicators (ET200)

I have KAIWEETS small and large clamp amp meter, both fit very easily into the 1X hole on the Triplett line splitter and receptacle tester. I dont understand a other reviewer claiming problem. Handy having both tools in one. Solid construction. Dont feel like opening it up to check quality of connections but the plug seems good. Works.

Works effectively, great for DIY electrical repair. The GFI test switch is the main reason why I bought this, and it works. Very simple product, easy to use.

A line splitter allows you to use a clamp ammeter to measure the current an appliance uses. Some people have been saying the 1X hole in this one is too small so here are the measurements 28 x 19 mm The 10x hole is 26x26 mm. Now you can measure your own clamp meter to see if it will fit. To use a clamp meter to measure current you cant clamp it around a cord, you have to clamp it around just ONE of the wires and its hard to do that on most appliances without cutting the cord apart. This line splitter lets you measure anything that plugs into a wall socket. Just plug the splitter in, plug the appliance into the other end and clamp your meter through one of the holes. The 1x hole shows the actual current, the 10x one amplifies it by ten times so you can measure small currents more accurately. This Triplett line splitter does the job and is well built so it can survive in a toolbox. It also has a couple of added functions I like. A set of three lights will tell you if your plug is correctly wired and grounded, a GFCI button will safely test a ground fault protected outlet and there are two holes you can insert your meters probes into to safely measure the voltage. You can save a few dollars by getting a line splitter without these features but I like having them. This will work for up to 15 amps which is the same as all other line splitters I have seen on Amazon. I know MOST outlets in the United States are fused for 15 amps so that is probably the biggest appliance you will ever need to measure, but I would have liked it if they had increased the current just a bit more, like to 20-25A just in case you wanted to measure something that was overloading your breakers or was on a heavier duty circuit. But this use would probably be rare, so Im ok with the limit. You could do the same thing by separating the wires in a normal extension cord, or by connecting a plug and socket with 3 short heavy wires. But honestly, by the time youve bought the parts and put them together, you would probably have spent more time and money than this line splitter costs. And this tool neatly avoids any safety issues with a DIY solution. Just remember, to use this to measure current you need to already have a clamp ammeter.

Saved a lot of time replacing all outlets in house

Its very had to see what the amperage draw of a saw or other item is. Just inset this unit between the outlet and cord and clamp on a clamp-on multimeter ( not included) to see the amp draw. This unit is great because it has two loops for low and high amperage measuring.

Does not work with my fluke atomic clamp

Handy item to measure what current a device actually draws. Use TRUE RMS clamp-on !!

Works

Socket tester and clamp meter loop all in one. Whats not to love!

really good way to find which receptacles are connected to the ONE outlet in the out of the way place that the electrician thought would be cool to daisy chain the rest of the house on.
