Default Troubles with shorepower

after shutting off all breakers in the 120 v circuit, put a voltmeter
inline with the pigtail to see if, in fact, you are still drawing current.


Volt meter? Inline? To measure current? Huh?

Hmmm. You have a multi-meter that'll directly measure more than a few
milliwatts?

Mine is a digital with a ten amp fuse on the Amp function. Fluke 87 as
a matter of fact. All the professional heating and cooling guys, and
the appliance repairman, seem to have one like it.

Multimeter? In-line? To measure power? Huh?

Ho-hum....A 10 Amp range is not unusual in a digital MM
But a power scale is rather unusual - except the dB scale that makes
some load presumptions - that you may be referring to?
