What Test Kit? | Page 2 | on ElectriciansForums

Discuss What Test Kit? in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

I do like the 1552 but i have ad problems with off scale reading for e/loop n pfc. I went back to be fixed n came back same but was fine sometimes? I had it swapped for another 1552 and that was fine.
 
A sticky thread would be useful i think. Could cover the range of testers taking into account work required and cost etc

For example, i'm looking for one now to get for my Elecsa assessment. The Meggers are well out of my price range and probably OTT for domestics. Any recommendations in the ÂŁ300/400 range?

exactly the same problems i had with megger

KT65 is far superior if you ask me, i especially like the auto RCD function as i don't like to move to much. its also got a auto test button and when you put the batteries in your not scared of breaking something like i am with MFT. don't know why megger is so popular

I do extensive Certification and Reporting and have used a Fluke with Megger test leads for the last five years. A nice feature with fluke is the case makes a handy seat and also contains a tool tray for my stickers and hand tools.

I dislike what I have seen of the Robin Lego boxes which are clumsy to use and have weak lids and catches. But use whatever works for you

It doesn't matter which tester you get as long as you know how it works and are comfortable using it to be able to perform all of the test's i have a fluke multi tester 1762 it works well and dose every thing i want it to do. go and try a few out be for you buy to find which one you like the best as i used a metrel tester and found it not the easy to use and the test lead were rubbish
my fluke was second hand of ebay
