    First MFT - thoughts on Di LOG 9083p?

    Good evening! I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Di Log 9083p 17th edition MFT. I am looking to get my first MFT and this seems to be coming up as a nice cheapish "starter" one compared to the more expensive Fluke and Megger ones available second hand. They are popping...

    Thoughts on the Megger MFT1711?

    what are your thoughts on the MFT1711? I'm looking to setup shortly and realise this is aimed as a kind of starter kit. Is it worth it or should I go for something with more bells and whistles like the 1731? I'm giving it thought as I've been offered a 1711 at a respectable price? Any thoughts...

    Connecting main protective bonding conductor into MET thoughts

    Any thoughts about connecting main protective bonding conductors into the MET instead of distribution boards? Watched a spark do it the other day and never really thought about it myself. Achieves the same result so it shouldn't be an issue.
