what MFT

[malcoa]

hi i'm looking for a multi function tester, some say 17th edition testers, some dont, i know these are older (pre 17th edition). what is the difference between them, surely an older tester can still be used?
thanks

as long as the MFT will perform all the required tests,( continuity, IR, EFLI, RCD, it will do.

Thanks teletrix

megger 1552 will do everything you need with the exception of phase rotation. ( that's if you need that feature)

I have just got the new metrel, cant fault it, does everything you need, not a bad price either .
Got mine from CEF for 365 +vat

Which model did you buy Chris?

 

[Christhesparky]

Metrel MI3125, great kit.

Metrel MI3002 Eurotest DL, very good, and the rechargeable battery lasts ages.

 

[CrazyScozzese]

Thanks lads. How much is the MI 3002 DL?

I own a fluke and its been great......getting a bit bettered, I have used metral (Hated it) Used Kewteck (Not keen) and various Megers.....I had a play with one of Megers latest ones the other day and NEARLY parted with my hard earned cash.

Came to my senses and will wait till the fluke finally dies, but my next MFT will be the latest Meger! (Oh why do I feel unfaithful???)

im still on my faithful metrel mi3000 and i cant fault its performance. coming up 4years now and never missed a beat. Does everything needed (+ phase rotation )

Keep an eye on eBay I managed to pick up a fluke 1652 for £200 an have seen then go for as little as £160

Megger 1552's seem to go for a lot more

My Metrel MI2002 was about £400 and does everything you could want. the recharging is great too.

Hi Guys - we at test-meter are the UK's largest Metrel supplier and sole supplier of the Metrel MI3000 - I used this tester at college and IMHO I found it really easy to find my way around, and it easily familiarised me with testing installations.
