If you can squeeze $15,
here's what you really want. Trying to test current with a probe-type meter is an ethnic fire drill. This way you don't have to disconnect stuff just to measure it.

You just turn every circuit breaker off except the one you want to meter, then run whatever is on it and read the EMS current display.
