Megger MFT 1502/2 or Megger 1552

[zsoltimatrix]

Hi guys,

Which one is better?

And which one is better value considering that the 1502/2 is couple of hundred pounds cheaper?

Thanks!

Never used the 1502 I think the only real difference is the 1552 has an RCD autotest function. I have the 1552 good solid machine and if I were to swap it for anything else it would be the 1553 which has the bluetooth.


Hope that helps a bit

Been told the Bluetooth is an expensive gimmick as there are too many problems with syncronising with other devices. Keep it simple.............less to go wrong

i have the 1552 but want the 1553

but everyone says the same thing software is a drama

think best to leave it for a while see if they sort out the syncronising etc

I have 1553 ,, i dont use the bluetooth or the software , so for me the blue tooth is a waste of cash

i have 1552 but firm now got 3 1553s so will let you know

1552 is good enough

I use the 1553 with the software and bluetooth.

Looks like nobody knows anything about the 1502/2 tester? It is much cheaper than the 1552.

I've got the a 1502/2 it's still working and I believe it still gives the same results as the new testers

basically theres normally a reason for that,, get what you pay for

I believe that the 1501 is the basic model
The 1502 adds the illuminated test probe with remote test button.

neither of these two have the Auto RCD function.

The 1552 has the Auto RCD function which saves you running backwards and forwards between the tester and the the RCD. the tester conducts all of the RCD test (.5, 1x, 5x both phases) whilst you stand by the CU and keep resetting the RCD. Once complete you can recall all of the results on the tester.

The 1553 adds the Blue Tooth.

Thats correct, as per the link in the 1st post on this page lol

Just trying to be concise and helpful.

 

[Amp David]

Thats ok mate

i have the 1502/2 and cant fault it, it is identical to the 1552 without the rcd auto test and seeing as i test rcd's at the board i have no problem with this as im not walking back and forth anywhere.
hope this helps
