I've seen a device that clamps onto power cables to measure the amount of juice the device is sucking - it was being used to quickly measure the load on a floor of a building so that the power in the new building they were moving to could be scaled correctly.

I've no idea what it was called or where you could get one though

Sorry, not the most helpful of posts
