Hi all,
I've nearly completed year 2 of my 2330.
My girlfriends parents have asked for a new socket to be put in next to the ccu (fuseboard that uses BS3036 fuses)
The ccu has been almost boxed in so taking the front off will be hard, if not impossible without pulling away the built in cupboard. The majority of the cables go into the wall just above the ccu. There is two t+e that come down the front of the wall into the floorboards.
I was hoping these would be a ring for downstairs, what makes me think otherwise.. they are 1.5mm and why wouldnt they be with all the other cables. If they were for the ring then I could simply pop a socket on a leg of the ring.
Now to get to the point. To get an idea of what the cable is for I thought i could use a clamp meter to measure the current eliminating different circuits seeing if there is current flowing (of course with appliances turned on).
Now I dont think otherwise Im going to have much use for a clamp meter other than this. So can anyone recommend a budget (but goodish) meter, or can anyone think of a better way of approaching this.
Thanks for your help as always,
Chris
