Which multifunction tester should i buy

Safety and performance are the two most important features of multifunction testers — they are also two of the most critical requirements for any electrical system.

A properly functioning grounding system is essential for any multifunction tester. Remember you generally get what you pay for so you may find it is worth investing in a higher end product as it will have all the functions you will need and last for many years saving you money in the long run.

Legh Posts: Joined: 17 December I use an old Metrel , by today's standards - very good it is to, I have also used a Fluke which is in some ways is a better instrument.

If you propose to test TT installations then get the top of the range mft instruments. I've been using a Fluke for about 12 years and i'm very happy with it.

Fluke 'all in one' seems the weapon of choice for most domestic badgers , you can often pick one up from eBay for less than quid because college people buy them to start up and then quit the trade. So off load them on eBay in near brand new condition I still use the robin kit my dad gave me in , it has 3 separate units.

Resistance tester , loop tester and rcd tester. Otherwise the model down from the MFT would do everything you need for cottage bothering. I do quite a bit of commercial and the extra functions of the are very handy for that.

Meggers do come with a price tag but once you've used them you will see why. I had a Kewtech on loan for a while and it drove me mad. Can you borrow one from someone to have a go? Alternatively, give us a call on , we're always happy to answer any queries. Posted: December 18, Categories: News. Tags: tramex , megger , martindale , kewtech , ideal. Author: Nick Robson.

Results for tests are relayed through the large-size LCD screen built into the front of the unit and all functions are colour coded on a rotary dial for ease of use.

Suitable for use with domestic, commercial and industrial wiring installations, the Martindale ET is ideal for any professional electrical installer. Designed to make installation testing as simple as possible, the ET performs all necessary testing procedures, including insulation resistance at 50, , , and V, continuity testing at mA and 8. The above 5 multi-function testers are the ones our students told us about. They seem to be popular with Megger being the brand we use here at Able Skills.
