Fluke Multi Testers

[robswainelect]

It's just they are not reliable!

@pete555 Yeah they have, I use the remote probe for dead testing, but they don't comply with GS38 as they are not fused - if we're going by the book

don,t understand mine is

 

[pete555]

Cant remember, not got it here?

[Toby Kuhnert]

I don't think it's fused... will check though

i think my fluke 1652C is fantastic, used it for 2 years now. the only gripes i have it 1. the fact you have to zero the leads for an earth loop test and 2. the remote probe kept giving different readings so had to bin it.

I know a lot of sparks who are having problems with fluke meters! Failing to calibrate, zero readings on earth loop tests!
Back to Meggar, never had one problem with Meggar multi meters!

My fluke stopped zero-ing on loop test, it just needed new batteries cracking tester, had it 5 years now

you shoudn,t have to keep zeroing leads fluke remembers leads mind you could be a good idea still not sure about remote lead i have used one for 5 years and still ok tested skts with lead and plug in results come out same

Never had a problem with my 2nd hand 1652.

Has someone got a Megger franchise perchance??

I'm sure if I'd bought 3 "piles of do do" from the same Mfr. I'd remember the model numbers to avoid the same mistake. Having said that, I'd have probably not gone past "pile of do do" #1.

not here. can't read this reply...

 

[shanky887614]

surely if they were such a problem they would at least mention the model numbers?

 

[telectrix]

never had the pleasure of using a fluke. always had megger, except for 1 seaweed which was a pain in the arse.
