installation tester

[gavdunstan]

hi all,

i'm looking to purchase my first installation tester after finishing my domestic installer course and was wondering if there are any recommendations. Been looking at Flukes as thats what ive been using on my course however they seem a bit pricey. Also looking for a decent PAT tester aswell, anybody got a recommendation?

Cheers:banghead:

Hi Gents

Kewtech KT 65 just pips the Fluke (although its not a bad tester)

 

[sparkyjohnny]

For the PAT tester, if your testing 110 and 230v go for the Supanova or the KT 74 if for 230v only as long as it does up to 20A on the earth bond (plus the 20-200mA) and the run/load/leakage test then there isn’t much between them.

Hope this helps

Hi Mark,

Megger 1552 or 1553 for me worth every penny

Hi Mark,
The Fluke is a good tester but it doesn't do dead "constant testing" other than that it's OK

 

[sparkyjohnny]

Does the Megger MF1502/3 do phase rotation and electrode testing not by way of EFLiT?
