Ok Phil... you are correct. I did err in regard to the very much lower currents
involved in the OP's request and the Cent-A-Meter's minimum power measuring
spec.

It's still a great device for people interested in finding out more info on
their power consumption though. Both you and I know that the average electronics
enthusiast who can read circuits and build stuff knows how to clip a current
sensor around the phase wires in the meter box and wouldn't bother getting a
licensed sparky in. Would you get a sparky in to install it for you?
