Rumrunner, I use a Megger 1501/2 multifunction. On that its got a simulated analouge display so you see a 'digital needle' move. Not sure about the speed of movement, surely the end reading is whats relevant?!

regards

tony

hi tony m58 ,this "megger"thing is personal preference i suppose ,ive got a wind up "wee megger" a battery analog megger and a seaward sbs 7671 multi function tester ,for critical work say testing motors for example,i would go for the wind up everytime,its never let me down ,flat batterys must affect a reading so i wouldnt risk it ,digital instruments have there place and i personly think its in the bin.

rumrunner,

quite right - personal prefernence

I stopped using wind ups about 10 yrs ago (and i have tested one HELL of a lot of motors and generators). Presuming the meter does not indicate a duff battery then the test voltage on a digital will be more stabil than a wind up, but to be honest thay are not HALF as much fun when you connect them to peoples ears!!!
