Hi, I'm hoping to get some good pointers as to which PAT tester(s) to invest in. I'm Currently a student at HNC level having previously completed NC electrical engineering last year. I'm hoping this investment could help fund me through the next couple of years at Uni, as student loans don't...
My company does not allow us to use our own voltage/continuity testers. Instead we must use the ones they provide for us. They're pretty cheap but do the job well enough.
I have had my testers for just over a year and the label says that I shouldn't use them after that time so I handed them...

I'm just starting a Domestic Electricians course and would like to get hold of a MFT to get familiar with so I can make the most of the workshops.
I've looked at the Fluke 1652c or the Megger 1720.
My tutor said the MFT would need to do at least the following tests:
Continuity
Insulation

hi does any 1 know where to get the cheapest tester from or maybe 2nd hand 1 as i need one asap and cant really afford few hundred pounds please get back to me thanks regards shaun.
If you were testing a Class 2 (double insulated) appliance and line and neutral were reversed in the plug, would you swap them round?
If so, why? Just to avoid any possible argument with the customer?
I feel I need to let you know (if interested) that a business client poaching outfit is on the offensive right now.
Several of my clients have contacted me to ask if I had changed my Company name or was no longer in business, as they had been led to believe this was the case. Subsequently they...

If so please name and shame so i can avoid.

My MFT failed calibration on some insulations resistance measurements but i am a little confused. I used a different more local calibrater as i needed the least downtime but his certificate is very different from the manufacturers one that was done before (now i have had time to compare side by...

Megger TPT210 or
Fluke T5-1000
The meggar is half the price of the fluke but I don't know if that means anything in terms of quality and value for money.
Thanks for your comments

Hi all,
Need to get a MFT, used to meggers so want the same but newer. Apart from the test-meter sponser site, any ideas on where to get one at a good price.
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys, posted this in another topic, was hoping for somemore feedback...
It seems a lot of the testers out there only carry out a low current test and IR @ 250V, particularly the battery machines.
Seems strange, how can these be used to test equipment effectively if they perform the full...
Hi. Am new to this forum and just wondered if anyone had any tips about ELCBs and their testers. It seems that there are still many of these obsolete ELCBs still in use (in my area of Weardale Co Durham) and I've read about the testers for them tripping out other properties in the same location...
Hi everyone,
I use to have a fluke 1652 and had it calibrated but when i done a continuity check on my checkbox the readings would be out by sometimes 0.25 of an ohm and sometimes would be spot on on different days.
I brought new leads and it didnt make a diiference and sent it back to the...
