Looking to replace my current generic test leads that are starting to show signs of variable readings. I also find the crocodile clips don't tend to stay on neutral or earth bars very well.
I have an MFT1711 (and a venerable 1552) so need standard 4mm connectors.
The Megger set are expensive...
Evening all,
This has probably been answered somewhere here, but in case it hasn't... I have a Fluke 6500-2 and had trouble testing SPD extension leads as you cannot drop the voltage to 250V using the IEC lead test button. I found a way to set up an auto test sequence to include EB and 250V...
So I have a job of installing an old cast iron lampost which will need to be buried into the ground about 600mm deep due to its weight. I am planning on drilling a hole at an angle from the patio area (next to the hole) into the hole to pass the 1.5mm swa into. Once the cable is in, I’m planning...
Hi all,
Engineer carried out EICR and marked the above as a C2, I agree, the smaller cables could come loose easily as the terminal is mainly clamping the 16mm tail. Client said C3....
Saw this online and it seems NAPIT are setting up a job leads service and then charging its members for them.
not sure how well this will work and if it does then i expect certsure to quickly muscle in on the action and use the NICEIC brand to get some of the market share and money being made...
Hi all
i just sent my fluke tester off for calibration, and came back as a fault so needs sending off for fixing, now sods law i have my NICEIC assessment Thursday, so had to purchase the testers within my local wholesalers (as will take 10 days to get to get old ones back)
so i got the Di-LOG...
I am always extremely cautious with working with anything that involves with electricity. Was wondering if anyone can help and give advice to these with these questions to help calm the anxiety.
First is how much load can i put through 1 extension lead? I know each of them can have different...
I dont usually do PA testing, or whetever the hell it's called these days, but have come across a few occasions where EU two pin IEC leads have been used with a travel adapter.
In the majority of cases it's class II equipment being powerd but today I found this set up being used for a class I...
Hoping someone might be able to help. I’ve seen an ‘adaptor’ that allows 2 test leads to run from one port of an MFT (doing IR test). But, can’t find anywhere to buy it. Anyone know where I could get one from?
I have read somewhere, (but I can't locate the source), that because the RCBO's electronic control operates at a very slightly higher potential than earth, there is a very small leakage to earth through the functional earth lead.
Is this correct or is my memory playing tricks?
Mains Leads.
I supply machines that are 21 amp per phase. the CE certification states a 2.5 5 core lead should be fitted. Which we do.
I have been asked to fit 4.0mm because the mains breakers are 32 Amp.
Isn't this the wrong way round? if the fuse was bigger it makes no sense to fit a bigger...
as the title reads, my test leads need replacing but I’m struggling finding like for like replacements? Anyone know where I can get them please?
I’m after the red test lead with test button and the 3 in 1 clamp lead
Cheers
I was always taught never to trim RCBO leads. I noticed on another thread the other day/earlier on that someone said they did.
What’s the general consensus on the subject? The reasons explained to me as to why we shouldn’t cut them were the RCBO was calibrated with that length of cable on so it...
don't do much pa testing but noticed a couple of times these show reverse polarity on my megger pat 120 ,but test the pins for continuity and its ok on neutral and earth but no continuity on line,they all work ok ,is the electronics causing problems ?
Has anyone got any decent mft1502 replacement leads or knows anywhere I can get them without paying through the nose? Need some that are compatible with the kewtech break out box. I’m going to be getting the newest megger soon but while mine is still in good nick and more than adequately does...
