I would love to give this product a higher rating as it works well, however mine came with a defect.
The electrical contacts for the hot and neutral in the receptacle end were only retained in place by spring tension of the contacts themselves and their friction with the upper half of the clam shell. They are positioned about .015 to .020 of an inch above the ground lug which is firmly attached to the lower clam shell with a retaining screw. There was no insulating material between the hot or neutral contacts and the ground lug.
With the insulator missing, there are two conditions which can cause the hot and/or neutral receptacle contact to become dislodged and come in contact with the ground lug, causing a dead short on the AC line.
The first is using the “VOLT CHECK” ports by inserting a volt meter probe into the port. The probe will push the contacts into the ground lug, causing a dead short on an energized AC line.
The second cause is that the contacts can become dislodged by light tapping on the lower half of the shell near the receptacle end. This can occur if the unit is ever dropped. This, again will cause a dead short on an energized AC line.
In speaking with a manufacturer’s representative, I found there should be an insulator between the hot and neutral and the ground lug.
If you have one of these, insure that the insulator is present in yours.
UPDATE: The manufacturer replaced the defective product without question. The replacement has a well designed insulator in it. Upgrading to 5 stars!

Amprobe ELS2A AC Current Clamp Accessory
Use with All Clamp Meter Models
The Amprobe ELS2A AC Line Splitter allows current measurement on any 2- or 3-wire power cord. Simply plug in the line splitter between the receptacle and the power cord plug to measure current draw with a clamp meter. It has dual measurement loops; The 1X loop is used for direct readings, and the 10X multiplier loop that multiplies signal 10 times to allow low-current measurements with improved accuracy. The ELS2A has built-in voltage measurement jacks to check for voltage and is rated for 120V and 15A.

Separates hot and neutral wiresDue to the electromagnetic field cancellation effect, clamp meters are unable to show the proper readings when measuring current on power cords when clamped around hot and neutral wires at the same time. This wire splitter separates hot and neutral wires allowing the clamp to properly measure current. |
Built-In voltage measurement jacksThe Amprobe ELS2A AC Current Clamp Accessory features built-in voltage measurement jacks to check for voltage sags and surges. Rated for 120V, 15 Amps. |
Two loops for increased sensitivityThe Amprobe ELS2A AC Current Clamp Accessory includes two loops for increased sensitivity, X1 and X10. The ELS2A measures current without splitting AC line cords. |

Excellent quality. Just what I expected from Amprobe. Mine says made in Taiwan, no sure is that is better. They are all Chinese anyway.
