calibration of MFTs - who to use?

[a-z electrics]

Hi, Can anyone advise me as to who to use to get my 17th ed. mutifunction tester calibrated (Metrel)? Also what is usual cost?

Hi mate, I just had same thing, I have used local company who pick up and return my metrel after. But just before I had my assessment two weeks ago I bought a check box from eBay. Covers Insulation and resistance, with results sheet. You do the rcd test on dedicated socket in your office/ home and always use same one each time. I think it cost about 16 quid, so a really big saving on calibration costs, although I will get it calibrated again in about 2-3 years just for piece of mind. Will find sellers details etc if you want them, although should be easy to find. The unit is approx 4x2 inches so easy to carry in tool box, napit assessor was more than happy for me to use results for assessment. Hope this helps

Try some of your local wholesalers and see if any are offering a calibration day. Costs can vary considerably from around £30 to £100, depending on service (collection, delivery, turnaround time etc). Cheapest generally at the wholesalers.

I would have to say no, just responses to an inquiry.

If we are not aloud to refer our opinion then the OP shouldn't be aloud to ask the question
