I have 2 amprobes that have served me well. One is an old school analog, no battery. The other is digital, replaced 9v battery with a new one. Neither one would work yesterday. They were in a cold truck. So on the way home, I stopped off at HF, bought their best digital probe. When I got home, I found my old digital probe works as it should. On the way home, it was in the warm truck cab.
I'm scratching my head, is it possible the cold probes didn't want to work? My old probes have served me well. Never once had any problems using them measuring current inside a load center.
Yes, I know you only put the probe around one wire current carrying wire at a time.
Going back today and see what my problem is. The probes better work.
Tenants electric bill is excessive. No way they can use that many KW-hrs even if all electric heater ran 24/7/30. Either electric meter is defective or there is a problem with grinder pump, which belongs to city, sticking on. Going to put a current sensor on grinder wire and see how many hours it runs and see if it stucks in the on position. Something is very wrong.
