Installation test meter

[paullynch]

I have been looking on eBay at the various meters for sale, have a general preference for fluke. Can anybody recommend a good all round model for general testing.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum, if you do a search for multifunction tester or MFT you should find several threads about this.

What ever you decide to buy, if it's 2nd hand, then make sure it comes with a current calibration certificate or else you will be spending about £75 more.

Your tester is your most important tool so don't buy cheap our you could find your self buying twice.

Guys what about this one :
GSC60, Power Quality Analyzers, Touch Screen | HT Instruments - https://www.ht-instruments.com/en/products/power-quality-analyzers/touch-screen/gsc60/
Looks like it is an MFT+ a 3phase power quality analyzer, what do you think?

Just realised the date of this thread. What tests do you do in Italy, Federico

 

[telectrix]

pinch it's arse and if it squeals, it's passed.

Make me laught, we do the same test as you do only difference is we have lot of TT system while in UK is almost everything TN .
I simply would like to know your opinion about an italian manufacturer of MFT because I see here people only talks about Megger or Fluke or other Uk..
