I have a Metrel MI3000 MFT. It has given very low insulation resistance readings for a circuit I was testing earlier today (0.001MΩ) between live and earth(!) but the circuit has been working fine and not tripping the MCB (20A, no RCD as it is a pre-17th ed. CU) and I had tested it only a...
Hi all, possibly a stupid question, but input from professionals would be appreciated.
Im looking to buy my first voltage tester, (probably fluke) and have been looking at a few.
I understand there are ones with a self test function, or without then you buy a proving unit with it.
My thought...
Hi,
I am looking to purchase my first MFT for domestic installations next week and I wanted to query what the major differences between the Fluke 1652c and 1653b testers are.

Thanks guys
Hi there, installed a 30mA RCBO on a domestic lighting circuit yesterday. RCD tested circuit on x1 and it wouldnt trip, got >310mS as a reading. Tried it on x5 and it tripped fine (8.5mS). Earth loop reading was 0.81 ohms. Also test button on rcbo worked fine. Any thoughts ???

Somewhwere on this site someone stuck the NIC max Zs table in pdf format which I have had printed out inside my inspection and test folder until a windy day in a field last week.
Can I find it again? can I heck.
Someone point me out where it is please.
hi
just a quick one,
as far as I'm aware, RCD's (with two poles, specifically the VOLEX VR80 30mA) don't care which side the Line or Neutral go in.
Am I right?
Or is this model a special case?
Can't think why, I know it works on an inbalance betwixt L-N, and the bumpf says you can wire it...
Hi Everybody
I have a tight budget and need to buy a new set of test instruments.
I have been thinking of getting the "all in one" type units.
Does anybody have any advice on which is best?
I am looking for a unit that can sync with my laptop and produce some posh printed certs.

Need a new voltage tester, been looking at the Megger TPT220, but it seems like the T5-1000 comes highly recommended.
The Megger has an RCD/FI test function that allows for the simple testing of 30mA RCDs, RCBOs and safety breakers. A test between phase and earth on a circuit protected by an...
