Metrel or Megger

[Sparkypablo]

i have the 3101 and its the dogs but with testers its each to their own and i dont reckon you will go wrong with either

Hi Phil
I have the metrel mi3100 eurotest and im thinking of upgrading to the Metrel MI 3101 Pro Set KIT (EurotestAT) with easi swt and software,Please can you tell me if its worth the extra bucks for the auto sequence testing and qwerty keyboard input.
regards
Paul

I use a 3125 lite like ex army.find ze readings to be a bit low compared to my trust megger lcb2000.checked them out on the checkbox and both seem to be within limits tho.checked back to back zs readings and they were pretty close to each other
Not bad for the money.megger leads are a bit better I think but if your megger meter require repairs by megger expect a long turnaround time
Metrels customer service is v good

tbh paul i don`t really use the input that much but i will say the adaptor for taking the ring final tests is fantastic, also the tester itself after playing around with it is very user friendly and i would not be without it. the guys at metrel are fantastic when anything goes wrong with the units although touch wood i have not had an issue with mine. a mate of mine whos metrel was well out of g/tee had it repaired free of charge by them. i got mine just over twelve months ago i think and i paid next to nothing for it brand new on the bay compared to the new price. £500 i think. also what i like with them is the battery charger in the meter saves a fortune and if it runs out on site just pop in some aa`s.

My Metrel has been utter rubbish. I'm on my 3rd under the 3 year warranty, and guess what, this one has just failed its calibration too! It failed on the insulation resistance test.. I saw someone at the Harrogate trade show who put me onto the head of technical... Spoke to him and he said "do you keep it in the van?" "Yes" I replied. "Ahh, our testers don't like the cold, throughs them way out" was his reply! "So I'm supposed to take November through to April off then am I" I told the technical man.. He had no reply to this!

My advise, pay a little more and stick to Megger.
