Any comments on Metrel PAT machines

Roger WNPATS · Jan 25, 2011

I recently got Metrel MI3311 for small work. Begining to think Seaward 250 better.
Mains powered machine now needs replacing, so Metrel Beta or Supernova?

Me i like the seaward supernova. but mine is the Europa Pac.

The supernova is good if kinda heavy n cumbersome in offices and the like most of the guys how use them do so on a hostess trolley type of arrangement .I like the seaward europa plus which gives u most of the advantages of the supernova but with the advanatge of being that bit easier to lug around by hand.To my knoledge its only bad point is that if your doing lots on 25A tests in rapid succession you need to let it cool down .

I have a spare europa if any one wants to buy it..£300 inc barcode scanner and 9pin serial cable to connect to pc.

I use a metrel beta its cumbersome and the cable entry isnt bestplaced causing cable to break Im trying to "aquire" a folding trolley for both Pat and when PIR testing as we do a lot of hotel work n 2circuits per room means your jumping around carryign stuff
