A coil of (insulated) wire wrapped around one of the mains lines will
produce a transformer. Then you place a diode and a resistor in the coil
circuit and measure the voltage produced by your transformer circuit.
This is a general concept and of course you must work out the details.

Hello fellows

Any ideas on how to measure the AC current of an equipment connected to
the wall plug (mains) power using a BX24?

Cheers
