How do you use an amp probe for a 220v outlet?

i know how to do it for a 110v but do you but the probe around both or each and add?|||Put the probe around each hot wire (red %26amp; black) and the neutral wire individually, but don't add. If the load is connected only to the hot wires, the currents in the hot wires should be equal and there should be no current in the neutral wire. If there is something connected between one of the hot wires and the neutral, the current in the neutral should equal the difference between the currents in the two hot wires. To verify that the current does not exceed the circuit rating, compare the highest hot wire reading with the circuit breaker rating.





An electric clothes dryer may have the motor and timer connected between one of the hot wires and neutral and the heater connected between the two hot wires. Other loads may also have combinations of 110 and 220 volt loads connected internally.|||i would put the red in the hot side and the black in the negative, if you have 110 or around it then you good, then leave the black and move the red to the other hot, once again you should have 110. if both read 110 together they make 220|||amp probe implies you have a current meter, not a volt meter.





ammeters, current meters, always have to be in series with the load, ie, connect between one of the hot lines and the load.
