You have an active and neutral in your AC cord in opposite phase which cancel out to zero. Put your clamp around one wire and it will show the current for that wire.

Thanks for watching and the info, i realised that shortly after ending the film so put a note in the description asking for forgiveness for my stupidity. Im hoping others see that or I'll be forever getting comments regarding that. Every days a school day.

A clamp meter is a current meter with simple voltage function. A multimeter is a voltage meter with simple current function. The clamp meter you have chosen is designed for higher amperage applications. That’s why it measures to the 10th of a unit. I think a better tool for you might be an electrical tester rather than a clamp meter.
