[vcf-midatlantic] Off topic-testing 3 phase power

[Martin A Flynn]

Ben,

Farnell sells 50HZ snap-on current transformers: 
http://uk.farnell.com/c/transformers/current-transformers?frequency-min=50hz 
that can be used with the DMM you already have

For a loads, I have used electric heaters sourced in the appropriate 
(local) voltage.   Bit of a bodge, however it's generally cheaper then 
damaging the cellular and radio equipment was working with.
