They are easy enough to make from a standard energy meter that you fit to the mains box.
You need a length of 3 core flex and a 13A plug and socket - an extension lead for £3 from Asda will do fine.
Carefully cut back the outer insulation until you can see the 3 coloured wires and seperate the brown (Live) wire from the rest. The energy meter clamp should be fitted around just this wire.
Note: This would not pass a PAT test as the cable would only have one layer of insulation but is safe to use in a controlled situation.
