Fluke vs Megger which one? | Page 3 | on ElectriciansForums

Discuss Fluke vs Megger which one? in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

Fluke for me all the way just bought the new version which does all main tests in one go now

It's apples and pears I think

I trained with fluke so have always used them and I like the yellow boxes
 
The company I used to work for had a fluke mft, when I went self employed I went for a kewtech kt64, and last year I bought a megger 1730 2nd hand from another forum member.
When subbing to other companies I've used a 15xx megger and a set of robin separates.

In my opinion they all do the job perfectly well and im happy using any of them. Personally I would see what deals are available at the wholesalers and pick the best priced unit with the functions I need and the most useful free accessories thrown into the deal. I originally went with the kewtech as it had a load of useful extras bundled with it.
 
megger for me every time.bought my 1553 2nd hand from MDJ in 2013. just had it calibrated again for this year, last month. all ranges good.
 
NOT megger for me. Fluke all the way. The issue with megger (except for the expensive new MFT1741) is the Zs / Earth loop test in non trip mode. They are easily impacted by Noise and RCD's in the path. Despite what megger say in their application notes - Flukes non trip algorithm even in their low end and much older models are FAR FAR FAR superior. I suppose fluke has some patents on this. With more homes switching to RCBO's it becomes a pain if one cant do reliable non trip tests.
 
I got my Megger 1552 nine years ago and it's still going strong. Had to get the plug sockets replaced a couple of years ago and the rotary switch is getting a bit tired but looking back over the calibration results it's barely moved from the first calibration results.

But I will also happily use a Fluke and also the Metrel MI3000 has impressed me, a lot of functions for a pretty low cost.
 
Hi There , I was not really talking about the life span. Yes megger is well built just like the fluke.
The issue with megger (except for the expensive new MFT1741) is the Zs / Earth loop test in non trip mode.
