A million years ago when I was a HVAC guy we used the clamp to check high amperage... much easier/safer than disconnecting and running 30-40 amps through a meter.

Maybe not super accurate but when you want a ballpark number to know how many amps a huge compressor is pulling it is super easy to do.
