It claims to measure 1ma and is only £29.99. Fair reviews so far.

I've got a TEK775 somewhere which is refusing to be found at the moment...
Went to a house this morning to locate a fault causing the RCD in a split load board to trip.
Going through the usual tests, I decided to put my earth leakage clamp meter on the earthing conductor.
Here is where it gets weird: with the main switch in the off position, the meter was reading...
Hi
It’s a bad setup but I went for a call out in the night in a residential unit.
There’s a rcd in its own enclosure feeding a 14 way board that had tripped.
I reset it didn’t trip.
I passed 2 mornings later and still hadn’t tripped.
Whilst there on first visit I stuck my earth leakage clamp...
Doing more and more consumer unit changes and think it’s worth while to have an earth leakage clamp tester.
My MFT is a megger which I quite like, so eas going to go with a DCM305E but then noticed that the DCM340 is a fair bit different, ehat’s the difference?!
They both appear to do AC and...
Well, I say that because I don't think there is a problem other than perhaps my meter reading.
Then again, it might not be a problem at all.
So I had an oil heater that was tripping the RCD. Element was leaking so replaced it.
Also did a complete check of all switches, terminal blocks and...
How do you use clamp meter?
Do you just clamp the line? Or line and neutral?
Also been working with a couple of guys that have earth leakage meters and one clamps the line and neutral and the other clamps the earth?
Can someone tell me the correct ways?
Thanks
Afternoon all. I’m looking to invest in a clamp meter but want want that will measure milli amps (nuisance tripping etc). The megger 305 seems the best about; is there any others out there? TIA.
I have a Megger MFT1741 with current clamp, also a Fluke 117.
As the MFT can't record min/max, I'm using the current clamp with the Fluke multimeter, following Megger's instructions and understanding the 1000:1 step down ratio.
Just taking some basic readings on known values, the results are...
I am looking at buying an earth leakage clamp meter AMECaL ST-9810 (£59) or a Megger DCM305E (on offer at £194).
The only use will be mainly domestic fault finding.
Any opinions will be most welcome.
Could anybody reccommend a good earth leakage clamp meter, specifically one that measures low mA's to find any small earth leakage current that may cause nuisance tripping?
Megger is my usual go to but don't want to fork out more than around the £100 mark if I'm able to get something pretty...
Hi all,
Just been to look at a job for a consumer unit changeout, checked the supply and,
Not sure you can see it too well but TNS system with older earthing conductor in green kind of sweated onto intake (connection does not feel too good), but disconnected at the other end (goes into that...
Anyone got one they recommend.
Looking to spend upto £120.
Would like micro Amp resolution if possible single digit milli Amp a must.
Ta muchly.
Edit: only looking at testing appliances and 240V circuits.
(did a search but no conclusive answers found)
I have a Fluke 322 clamp meter for sale. It was my spare so it's unused and in near-mint condition. Comes with Fluke case and leads. Might have the instructions somewhere.
Located west London, can post for a few pounds.
Looking for £60, offers accepted for quick sale.
Evening all
I find myself in need of a multicore current meter, much like the old Megger MMC850 (now sadly discontinued) for use at a data centre where I work. Anyone have any ideas at all, I'm stumped!
Megger stopped producing the MMC850 some years back (apparently due to lack of sales...
Just had a customer request to ensure his installation is correctly earth bonded prior to install of Water Meter
Now we all know that water is Bonded near to stop cock and gas is before 1st joint on the outlet
But where do we bond Oil Feeds as not in BS7671 ??
Hi
Does anyone know where you can purchase the earth clamps that the DNO use on their lead supply cables? I used to have a few but cant find them anymore and Im not sure of the correct name for them.
Cheers
Martin
hi for sale is the alphatek TEK632 clamp meter which has non contact live cable indication, current readings up to 200a.
Also Frequency which is very handy when fault finding on Motor connected to VFDs
£23 delivered anywhere in the UK.
