I think most guys that have clamp meters use them to check amperage draw on straight electric heating units and heat pump back-up circuits.
Also - checking for current in the grounding electrode conductor.
I have a nice little one that isn't actually a clamp - it's more of a "Y" that you slip over the conductor - gets into those hard-to-reach places.
