Ohhh good point, I'd forgotten about it needing to clamp around only
the
live wire.. bit of a shame since that means I'll have to power down the
device to monitor and "unmonitor" it :-(

the remote electrisave monitor should make it much easier.

You will need to clamp around only one wire ie Live or Neutral but not
both as they would interfere / cancel each other out.. Perhaps a really
short extension lead where the cable has been split to allow this.

(As ever where mains is involved be careful as you're down to single
insulation.)
