Iso-tech 3300, anyone got one?

[Sparky83]

I got brought one by my company, not my ideal choice but they a skin flints so it was this or nothing really, we got it from RS.......

ISO-TECH | Test and Measurement | Electrical Test | Electrical Installation Testers | ISO-TECH Installation Tester

i used it the other day to try it out, i noticed it doesnt do a 5x RCD test, just half and 1x? this ok?

Also when doing a loop test at a socket it tripped the rcd, it says its none trip but there isnt an option for trip lock etc???

There is no option for doing a PFC test? the instructions aint great as it talks about RCD testing and measure the prospective fault current but on the picture of the meter it show a meter with one dial in the center of it, where as mine, the 3300 it has 2 dials???

With i'd got a megga now, although i'd have had to buy it myself so i guess i should be greatful.

Any help would be great, here is a link to the instruction pdf the RS provide.

On the meters RCD settings scale the last position should be an RCD fast test at 150mA therfore 5 x 30mA.

Indeed there is ( i missed that!!!), top banana mate!

Anyone got any other help with the other issues?

For loop tests with RCD set the function selector switch to the 2000 ohm position which passes a test current of 15mA which is less likely to trip an RCD. If any in-circuit RCD trips, set the phase-angle selector switch to the alternative position, reset the RCD and repeat the test.

PFC readings have to be calculated from your loop readings and voltage.
