Apr 12, 2019 at 18:14 comment added DesdeCuando You can buy something that temporarily splits an electrical device's current into its two components so you can clamp just the conducting wire. They cost about $15 circa 2019. (Look for an AC Line Splitter.) Functionally it's a short extension cord with the exterior casing pulled off. This is an idea, not advice: One could fashion one with a short, appropriately-gauged extension cord and a paring knife. A Youtuber made one by assembling the components of a short extension cord (spoiler: ...and splitting the cord down the middle with a paring knife). youtube.com/watch?v=x_RbRM1QySQ
