New MFT, what's the best units to look at? EICR industrial, time saving!

The thing that seems to have won me over is the fancy low current loop quality analysier.
No more running 5 tests to see which one is most accurate, it runs the test until it's happy with the result....allegedly

If you get it, I'd be very interested to hear how you find that feature in practise.

I feel like joking that the scale of the confidence meter should probably go from "None" to "Low"
Given the starting point of this test is doing an incredibly short duration test at a certain point in the wave cycle at a very low current I haven't ever have a huge amount of trust for low current Zs results. As you say, you can get 5 different readings in a row.
I also wonder how long it will sit there before giving up if it's impossible?!
Fair play to Megger for trying to improve the situation though.

Me as well.

They might have some fancy aspect that actually improves the accuracy of the test, but even if it simply lets you know a confidence range of values you then know if it falls in to the Zs requirement OK or not, in which case you might need to asses the Zs by other means (e.g. from high current Ze + R1 + R2 etc).

I'm currently torn between the Metrel touch screen jobby and the Kewtech KT66DL as I'm needing EV testing features in the very near future. I like the simplicity of a dial selector to choose the test I want, and for a quick glance to check I'm not still on a dead test when I'm about to do a Zs...

One thing I can't find much feedback on is the battery life of the Kewtech. The Metrel has a built in rechargeable battery pack which is a nice feature.

I've checked with Kewtech and they will work with rechargeable batteries but the indicator will drop off a lot quicker.

My current Dilog DL9110 seems to chew through batteries in about 1-2 days of testing.

What's the battery life of the Kewtechs like?
