In order to make the voltage and current measurements required, the voltage across
the unit under test (UUT) and the current flowing in to the UUT need to be measured.
While making voltage measurements are relatively straight forward, to measure the
current, the conductor has to be “broken” so the current flowing through it can be
measured.
For the measurement of voltage and current in normal appliances that plug in to the
wall output, Voltech has a Universal Breakout Box.
A connection diagram for the and the breakout box is shown below:

The U
UT is connected to the “OUTPUT TO – U.U.T.” socket, and Universal Breakout
Box is connected to the AC source (2). The UUT can be any electrical product that
would normally plug in to the wall outlet.
Next the measurement connections need to be made between the breakout box and
the . These connections are shown below:
