[PLUG] UPS Education

[fh hillsboro]

The inductive pickup gizmo is designed for and comes with the trusty 
Radio Shack V-A meter.  The "Inline Inductive Pickup.Multiplier" allows 
you to measure current when two or more wires are bonded together (power 
cord).  It also provides 10X readings for low current measurements.  So, 
I'm pretty sure that is not the problem.  I'm merely wondering if my 
observed readings are realistic.
