As pointed out, if the DUT is not isolated and plugged into the same supply (not necessarily same socket) then you dont need the ground clip because, both are referenced to the same ground already
At some of my jobs , techs uses an isolation transformer for their oscilloscopes , why don't u?
Well yes it does, but plug anything into a socket turn it on, and it will place a load on the line if it's working, if it isnt working, then they give it to you to fix. Once they iron out a few wrinkles in free energy then you may well be able to run something off the socket without using any power! Dont mock, all thats left to do is find a way of breaking the law's of thermodynamics, they must be close as i have seen video's on you tube that prove it
yes it creates loading, ground loops if it isnt done properly, ok yes at your place of work you will get ground loops.
but that is a small price to pay for getting accurate readings of the instruments you are using to fault find

Well that's why they use them because they told me they get false readings
The test fixtures AC and DC line voltage will be off because of loading problems if an external power supply is connected to the same wall outlet as it is
Or a phase meter that is referenced to the 115 400hz main lines will be distorted and will overload the input of the reference input to the phase meter if there is other things connected to the same outlet wall as it is
How can you fix these problems? they use isolation transformers for each piece of equipment
Now that i do have an answer for, and one that is guaranteed to work.
Sack the entire technical department, and hire people who know what they are doing, maybe even go as far as hiring people who studied electronics, rather than art or drama

Unlikely, as that kind of thing is a bit too electrical. It could also involve the use of mega meters and such like, so a technical department that struggles with a multi meter, is probably not the best place to find someone to fix electrical problems! If it was me i would probably go ask the account's department if they had someone.
