This is a still from the latest Avengers film. Thank you for reinforcing the stereotype that the Scots eat unhealthily. Deep fried Kebab. Really?

So with megger leads they are not too happy in a kewtech socket tester so what do you do when you want to do this use kewtech leads on the megger? The megger leads clearly do not fit into the kewtech. Just use the plug lead?
Been sent an email today telling me Hager have a new smaller rcbo range out and have done away with the earth fly lead which is good when doing a IR test. The new rcbos are a good fit for adding into existing CU's as they give you plenty of space on top for cables,
Which makes me wonder why is...

I need new test leads for any Metrel and have seen AMECal do the same set as Metrel. Just wondering if they are any good or should I stick to the pricier Metrel ones?
Thanks in advance
When testing appliances with a detachable IEC power lead, what's the recommendation for recoding the earth continuity value, do you record the higher value including the lead resistance, or exclude the earth resistance of the lead from the actual appliance.
This assuming that the lead is tested...
Hi all,
I'm not sure if I'm posting on a forum specifically for electricians? or if this is also a forum for the general public looking for advice from electricians? Either way I'm the latter and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Has anyone go any good suggestions or standard layouts to setting up two short adaptor leads to enable me to test 3 phase 5 pin extension leads, also is there any easy option without using a switch box to test the polarity of each of the Line conductors. ??

Hi,

Using the other 3 individual leads achieves nothing and the test fails. I have tried testing at CU and also at a socket...
Hi all,

Cheers
