Hi. I'm looking to buy My First Multifunction Tester, a voltage indicator and a proving unit. Do you have any advice or links to special offers, bundles, etc? I'll be doing domestic EICRs, fault finding and remedial work (all domestic). TIA :)
Edit: My budget is £800 all in
This may have been asked before but what is the best all round MFT that also does EV charge point testing?
I am looking at the Megger 1741+ but also believe the Metrel testers are also good?
Hi have had the megger 1741 MFT.
Error code 140 has appeared on the tester which is a fault on the circuit board for the 3 lead low zs test
This is the third time it’s happened, already sent it of twice to be repaired since buying it from new just over a year ago.
Was wondering if any one else...
Hi all. Looking at buying a new mft. Currently using a Fluke 1652c, nothing wrong with it but looking for something newer. It will mostly be for testing in domestic & commericial settings so regular testers will know the sort of features im looking for. Its silly little things with my current...
Well I thought it was time to get a new MFT as the old one was 20yrs plus it got nicked too..
After a peruse and some tinterweb research I have opted for a Megger 1741 and it has arrived and first impression are pleasing, just wondered if anyone else has this particular model and what they...
Need to look at a new MFT in due course as I currently have a kt64dl which whilst it works fine, is a doddle to use I have to use a chunky rolec charge check for testing EV Chargers.
I see the new Metrel 3152 has a bolt on to test the chargers. Not sure if the EV testing part works fully with...
Recently I got a DL9118 multi-function tester and one of its capabilities is, of course, measuring Zs. But I wondered how it worked in terms of compensating for test lead impedance (no mention in the manual) and after inquiring it was confirmed it has factory cal for the supplied leads.
Next...
Anyone sent Thier meter(s) to Calibration Centre in Stafford via the provided UPS service they offer?
How would you advise to pack the MFT? (aside from well), send in original hardbox inside a cardboard box/ wrapped in rubble sack?
I’m looking to get registered with the compétant persons scheme.
I’m looking at testers and wondering if it’s worth the extra money to get a tester that tests b type RCDs.
would the scheme pénalise me for not having an 18th fully compliant tester?
wondering on what people’s views are.
Hi all,
Trainee spark here so I expect this is a 'user error' issue.
I bought a Di-Log MFT a few months ago when I started workign as a mate/apprentice. I was using it today to test a new board I'd put in. All went well until I wanted to get my IR's @ 500v - the screen just turns red and the...
So the screen on my trusty MFT1552 has died....probably time to replace it anyway...Looking at the new Megger MFT17xx series, but interested to hear any thoughts on alternatives!
Or even better.....someone telling me that their 1552 did this, and it was a cheap fix! Unlikely though I guess!
Cheers
Hi all can anyone recommend a hard case for a metre Mft and other items like few hand tools and proving unit etc bit like the hard plastic fluke ones
Thank gary

Hi team.
I'm coming up to the end of my level 3 2365, and the plan is to go out and work with some local electricians doing domestic, industrial, in fact a bit of everything. Living out in the sticks I don't think there is another way. But rather than borrowing kit and just using it, I want to...
I used a friends Megger today and we both came up with an error he hasn't seen before.
We was performing a PFC test at the imcoming of a new DB.
Leads were in line and neutral ports and tester set to L-N, 2 lead test, Zmax.
As soon as you make the connection the tester beeped and flashed <PE>...
OK, Stop laughing at the back!
SO, I'm house hunting and, ignoring the number of beautifully decorated houses with rubbish electrics - I also want to be aware of any damp issues. This led me to try using the trusty Megger with sharp probes to test for damp. This appears to work, or at-least is...
I’m looking to purchase a MFT, that can do all the required tests. Hopefully I can save a small fortune and strike a good deal prior to shelling out a wedge. To that end...
(waffle over)
Is there anyone on here with such an instrument for sale?
