Test Meter (site sponsors) are a good place to start. They have a matrix showing the products, features and costs.

Don't get the cheapest as its a very important purchase.

Edit: I have a Metrel Eurotest AT and the extra kit to test FRC's and its great.

I have a MI3000. Great little bit of kit for the money. Downsides are no data storage for later download, and you might get sneered at for it's "fisher price" colour scheme. Otherwise cannot fault it.

Mine has the data download function but to use it you'd need to be super efficient and do your testing precisely in the correct order.

Thank you for your feedback. Sadly s many rude people on here don't see the need to appreciate suggestions and feedback.

I've got one of the older Metrel Instaltest 61557, few years old but working fine.

I'm looking to build up my test kit before leaving my current employment to go SE. Does anyone know of any suppliers that could do short term finance or something?....

OP- now Megger have sorted out there issues I really fancy the 1730mft, looks a great bit of kit although expensive.

Im still using my 61557 too. Think its time to retire tho when the calibration is out tho as mine looks a little tired.
