    Circuit Breaker Finder

    That was my bad on type. Yes the tester is indeed IDEAL not IDEA. With the tool it indicates that several PDUs on the same breaker which is not possible since the breaker is only 20amps, if I add up all the PDU's current draw it would be more than 60amps. Not sure what it means by single pole...

    Circuit Breaker Finder

    Well you have to consider the complexity and current density is an order of magnitude or so greater than a typical home, with very levels of harmonic distortion and neutral triplen harmonics, not to mention the radiated RFI that could be causing interference with a low-end product. Where else...

    Which clamp meter do you recommend?

    I maanage a computer datacenter. There are several servers connected to PDU's. 1) I need to know the current flowing through the power cables that connects from the server to the PDU (this is generally in the range of 1 amps - 5amps) 2) I also need to know the current flowing through the...

    Circuit Breaker Finder

    Thanks for the link. But when I took the same circuit breaker tester home it worked perfectly all right. What does this mean? Could it be a bad wiring in my data center that leaks all around and shows maximum signal on a certain breaker instead of it's own breaker. It won't be a good idea to...

    I am located in NJ. I was using the "IDEA 61-532" to do my testing

    Circuit Breaker Finder

    I have a Data Center where I cannot turn power off but I need to find out which PDU uses which 30 amps breaker. I recent purchased a "circuit breaker finder" tool to help me find this out. But when I use this tool it points me that there are atleast 4 of my PDU's using the same breaker. But...
