    Fluke 1662/1663 issues

    Having some issues with my companys fluke 1662/1663 tester. Zeroing 2 leads for continuity test we get the value 0.08 which is expected. The issue comes doing the Zi (loop impedance) the instructions say to zero 3 leads for this test ( if you try to zero two leads L and PE it reads >3.00ohm)...

    Voltage testers - a basic question

    Hi. As part of safe isolation we use a voltage tester to prove dead; I've been taught that this is done by putting the probes in the following combinations: N+L, N+E, E+L. But why check anything apart from the Live? That's where the voltage is coming from right?

    Comparing Testers

    While I have more testers of various ages that I know what to do with, I don't have anything that does a 2 wire no-trip loop test. Normally this doesn't bother me as in the past I've observed such tests are unreliable and rarely repeatable. The other day I had a commercial testing job with lots...

    Understanding EV testers?

    I need to buy an EV tester in order to carry out all the required tests. I'm just a little unsure about one or 2 things... 1. Is an EV tester the same as an EV test adaptor? These terms seem to be used interchangeably. 2. Does the EV tester actually do the tests or do you plug them into your...

    3 EICR Testers, what do of make of this?

    I have had 3 EICR's completed for a property. There has been no physical change to the circuits since the first EICR. Ignore the "LIM" on Circuit 7, I understand that. Would be very interested in hearing your views.

I really like the look of the "open jaw" testers with the added attraction of current measurement and can now justify buying one. I wanted to get the Beha-Amprobe Delta but its introduction...

    Is it ok to do insulation resistance test on RCBO at 500v?

    I know you are not supposed to do a insulation test on circuits that are protected by an RCD at 500v because it may damage the electronic components inside the RCD so that's why you switch the RCD off before you test the individual circuits, however, what if the circuits are all protected by...

    Socket testers?

    Somewhere I have a cheap Kewtech socket tester which is handy for a simple 'probably OK' check and to verify power is on.
