So what would be the correct way to measure the amperage going thru that CB?

Just clamp it around the 10 gauge brown wire coming off the top of the circuit breaker and it will tell you the amps that are running through it. Now, if you look at a typical SPAL electric fan, you will see that it has what looks like one fat black plastic wire running to the electric motor. Inside the black plastic wire are two separate wires, one red and one black. You can not just clamp your ammeter around the big plastic wire. You have to separate the two wires inside (red and black) and clamp your meter around one of them to get a correct reading. Not both at the same time.
