I've just had this product delivered to me and after opening the box I found that something inside the meter rattles quiet a bit when moving around in your hand. ive checked it's not the batteries and was just wounding if anyone else had this meter to see if it's just how they are or if mine may...
Evening peeps,
looking to get a decent ELCM for max price of £300 and was wondering if anyone could recommend one please.
I have searched the forum and have come up with the following previous recommendations but am unsure which one to go for as they were in the last two years or so...
Stupidly dropped my voltage tester on the floor the other day, straight on to a tip which broke clean off...
Been checking out online for a replacement, the basic ones (like I had before) all seem pretty similar regardless of the brand. About £30 for Fluke, Martindale, DiLog etc.

Guys.
Looking to buy new a new tester for work, the Fluke T5-1000 looks pretty good with some good reviews.
Point is, been browsing online for a price and was getting roughly £157.00. But found it on the isswww.co.uk for £88 including delivery. Is this website trustworthy?? Seems much...
Hello everyone!
I needed a clamp meter on a job last week. It was the first time ive needed one so as i was picking up some gear i picked up one of those Handyman test kits.
I assumed they would be half decent as Handyman is made by Metrel (any opinions on that are very welcome!).
Anyway...

How should I test and what am I looking for?
I have had an electrician in to put a new RCD in to Isolate...

Can see the massive benefit of these meters but never used one before. After doing some research some people seem to say clamp both tails and overs say clamp the earth.
What do you think is best and can you advise any tips with...

Hello all,
I've been looking for a while for a clamp meter that includes earth leakage, along with resistance and voltage. Some of the earth leakage meters that seem to do a reasonable job and are fair priced dont make it clear if they also test voltage/resistance which i would want as well...
Hi there,
i had a job today where the customers underfloor heating stopped working.
i tested the mats and both were reading 32 ohms.
he had a spare controller stat so I changed it.
The stat sends 240v to the mats. But as it takes a while (he says it can take a good hour in his house) and with...

Hello, Im trying to track down a neutral clamp for a Dorman smith board, I have asked CEF to try and track them down but they say they are not around anymore, Has anyone ever seen anything like this before or know where i can get them???
Easy question... Can someone recommend me a clamp meter...
Obviously don't want cheap rubbish, but don't want to spend a fortune. Reasonably priced mid-range meter would be ideal but I'm not sure which are worth the money...
Hi I'm fairly new to the forum and have a situation I've never came across before. I visited a customers house to quote for a new consumer unit, the existing installation is a wylex pop out MCB board metal clad with a 100 mA RCD main switch with the supply being TT. The earth rod is not visible...
I was thinking of buying a clamp meter to use for domestic/commercial work and I thought this one looked ok, has anyone used this? If so was it any good? I don't know much about clamp meters, ideally I would like one that measures earth leakage (mA) right up to about 250 amps but none of the...
Hi, my name is Ian and I am relatively new to the forums, joining due to the excellent source of solar / green energy information. However, I have a question regarding solar panel mounting clamps. An installation by the now defunct Ploughcroft needed panels removing for roof maintenance...
At a domestic property today I noticed the earthing had been "upgraded" with a water/gas pipe earthing clamp used on the incoming cable, see below.
I seem to recall earth clamps need to apply equal pressure all round, to avoid a risk of puncturing the insulation.
I was there to do something...
Are there any circumstances when it might be acceptable to tick the "Continuity and Connection Verified" box of the Electrical Installation Certificate when there is no visual or physical access to the point at which the bonding (normally a clamp in domestic) is applied. If so what checks over...
Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced clamp meter that can measure milli amps.
I have a customer who's rcd trips every so often. So I was wanting to test for earth leakage.
