You need at a minimum.
1. Low resistance ohm meter
2. Insulation resistance tester
3. Impedance tester
4. RCD tester
5. Voltage tester

These are available in single units or as 1 unit (MFT).

Remember if you go for individual instruements all the seperate calibration charges.

Personally i would go for the megger MFT 1552 or 1553.

agree with above mft1552 from isswww.co.uk cheapest ive seen plus do deals if you buy mft and long lead together. cheers
