The only trick you have to remember is that if the wire that's feeding your load, like your fans for instance, has both the positive and negative wire in it, then you can't clamp around both of them at the same time. Other than that, it's pretty hard to do it wrong.
Not fully understanding this about the pos and neg wired to it?
So what would be the correct way to measure the amperage going thru that CB?
