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

I live in an area that electric power goes out during thunderstorms. I bought and use a portable generator to keep the essential house items running but always had concerns of overloading the generator. I bought this product and have used it several times with no difficulty and I am now can be assured that the generator is well within its capability for keeping me comfortable in my home.

Ok, these devices are not rocket science. If all you want to do is read AC current, you could easily separate the two wires in an AC extension cord and clamp your clamp current meter around one of the lines. This would give you exactly the same result. Want “times 10”? loop one of the lines 10 times, and then clamp around that loop to read 10 times the current. But the ET100 will also give you indications that your wall outlet is wired correctly or not. It also has the ability to check your outlets GFCI breaker. For the price, this is a handy tool to have in your box if you want to measure AC current or quickly check an outlet. It seems durable and well built, but I just recently received it so I can not comment on long term durability

The tester part reduces the size of the 1st hole and my clamp meter doesnt fit it.

Sturdy and nice looking. The GFCI & Receptacle Tester works like any other tester. The 2 square openings allow placement of a current probe to measure amperage. The 10:1 amplifies the current by a factor of 10 for measurement purposes. This feature is particularly handy when measuring low currents that may not be easily reading using a 1:1 current probe.

Convinces customer that coffee pot is bad

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

Identified an open Ground on one of my outlets. Remember if you are going to measure AC Current that you will need a Clamp-On Ammeter.

A must have at home!

Must have to measure current of plug in loads

This is one of those where have you been all my life tools. Combined with a good clamp meter its an indispensable tool for an electrical DIYer or pro.
