I agree with Lenny never heard anyone say much bad about the supernova but they are big and kinda heavy to lug about .heard of some people getting little hostess trolleys made for them to trundle round the room with .i bet they would be great for large amounts of continous 25A testing.I had a play with a supernova Xe a stripped out version that was a lot lighter .Would i have a supernova ..yes but i think in if i were passing on one of my europa plus's then it would be for a primetest 300(and a take out shares in Duracell).

A while back there was an LNG pipeline project in my area, lasted about 2 years. Aswell as all the elctrical install & maintenane works I had to PAT all the plant which was 110V and I'm talking thousands of items, every 3 months. They wanted printed results aswell as disc copies and the Supernova ticked all the boxes and then some.

I have the seaward primetest 350 and its not that bad on batteries.
Ive got 12 duracell rechargeables of the highest capacity i could find, 6 will last me a week of continous testing.
The supernova is good but massive.
Use a battery powered machine and you wont want a mains one.

you can get a Fluke 6500 for about 650 pounds, very good machine and quick to use, and can fit a barcode reader and memory card...I used this model to do thousands of tests....
