    opinions sought on the TIS MFT PRO

    I've had a little go with this tester now and I've decided it's going back to the shop. Heres the thing. It measures continuity between terminal B1 and terminal B4, but insulation resistance is measured between B1 and B3. Can you see what I'm getting at. When I'm doing dead testing I don't...

    As it happens the TIS rep was at the City branch with his MFT Pro today. He couldn't demo the PQA functions in the store. But he s up for letting me have a proper go on it. So, we'll see

    PC-Case conducts energy

    Repeat. The Suckit n See type Tester shown in does not verify neutral earth reversal. OP describes himself as "new to this". He also gives a good description of an AC touch voltage appearing on the case of his equipment. He has asked how to measure what the touch voltage is. He is new to this...

    PC-Case conducts energy

    You will notice that socket tester in the picture does not detect neutral /earth crossed over. Use meter to check continuity of case to earth tag on schuko plug not plugged in. But, if neutral earth crossed, not going to learn anything new from this test. Recommend get local elektriker to check...

    down a hole fixing a cable

    I think green/yellow looks better on black and blue looks better on grey. but always verify with tester, never trust a bit of tape. Don't mind clients and other trades standing and watching, just charge more for the instruction. wiska submarine plastic cases are a bit brittle when trimming the...

I think 33ohms is quite good for a TT system, only wish I could have seen the top of the electrode and a nice label like the one...
