    Decent multifunctional tester

    I use a megger 1721, I've also used a 1725. I don't particularly like the design of the leads, this is supplied by my company so I have no choice but it's a good bit of test kit..

    Issues with megger mft1720

    If the leads are giving 0.4 or even -.2 that's higher than they should read. I'd expect about 0.1. Suggests that it needs to go back to get looked at by the calibration place if you've tried a new set of leads. Unless you try the above and it works

    How to change this light bulb?

    I'd have thought the Bezel should screw off with a quarter turn or similar, if this is just one light if it's not coming off you may have to replace.

    Installing plug sockets in steel furniture.

    Couldn't the metal cabinets become live under a fault condition and if not bonded give some one a Zap? Especially if sockets are installed in them?

    Inspect and Test Question
