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...
Hello again and thanks to everyone who helped me out with a recent issue.
This one is trickier, at least to me - Let me outline the scenario - if I leave some detail out, please bear with me as I'm now off site and I'll try and reply in good time.
I'm working on an old croft house in Scotland...

Hi Guys, I am in the market for a decent earth leakage / Clamp meter, Currently using a Metrel 61557 MFT for day to day use but looking to upgrade when calibration is up. Any of the new tester incorporate this?
I have a fairly elderly MEM 8 way board with a 100A 30mA RCD main switch which takes out the whole board when it trips. About a month ago I put in a new circuit to an upstairs annexe in a garage (16mm SWA, TT rod and RCBO's in a separate CU). About 2 weeks ago the electricity board were doing...
Hi. I've got a high earth leakage value on a main db supplying many 3phase cables. What's the best way to find the leakage values on each cable? Some of them can't be turned off. If I clamp around all 4 live conductors as they enter the db would this give me the earth leakage?
had my mate the plumber ring me today asking if a ring for sockets stops at the last socket ha i obviously said no that would be a radial etc...
he said its only for 10 sockets to which i replied its all about the loading what is it using... apparently its for 5 fridges and a pot wash which...
I want to invest in one of these, it's primary function will be for me to measure the mA on circuits where IT is in use, it seems they can be useful to determine where a fault might be on a circuit, I would be greatful for you opinions on these options.What i can't quite fathom and hoping...
Hi everyone
I am new to this board and would firstly like to say hello to everyone and to keep up the good work, this place is like a hidden vault for knowledge.
I've been asked a bit of a curveball question form my friend who is a building contractor.
An installation that he completed 4...
I Need a little help i recently fitted a new consumer unit for a mate. The house is empty and up for sale so i thought no problem as not in a hurry continuity was ok on all circuits IR ok ,Ze 0.09,PFC 2.95kA so i changed the board then powered up and the 80a 30Ma RCD tripped i disconnected each...
An old fuse board with only 4 fuses 1 5amp, 1 15amp and 2 30amp fuses has a VOEL CB as the ADS for the whole board. I was adding to an outside circuit, one more light, using SWA cable and whisker boxes for a junction.
When I came to testing, I was not sure how to test VOL CB. I have a Metrel...
Have just got a Di-log 6507 and it works fine. An electrician friend suggested we get one to help identify an EL problem we have been experiencing (slight tingle) in a copper hot water pipe coming from the unvented stainless cylinder. Question is this: It is clearly showing a current in the...
Good evening all, Happy Weekend :D
Just thought I'd post another thread as I have given my earth leakage clamp meter an outing today and need to learn a little more about the results I am receiving.
Firstly, 16th Edition board - RCD - Shower, Cooker, Sockets, Sockets, Sockets and then two...
Hi chaps,
Looking to purchase the above and wondered what your thoughts were on the Di-logs or Kew techs?
I dont really want to spend a fortune, so a couple of hundred quid is about max.
Cheers.
