NICEIC Certification Scheme NICEIC Calcard

[Michael J]

Hi
Has anyone ever used these?

Well I use an ELECSA calcard, which I'm guessing is the same thing.

It is a very handy way of checking continuity & IR readings on my MFT, I nominally do this every month.

Yep I use mine regularly too just to check everything is as it should be! I had a faulty neutral lead a few months ago that it picked up, it was only held together with a couple of strands of wire inside the probe end and would of given some interesting readings!!

Agree with above. Nice handy bit of kit. Worth getting if you get a weird read to just check your tester.

I use mine everytime I test to ensure my readings for continuity (R1+R2) are bang on.

I used the Calcard monthly, along with Zs & RCD testing on the same socket in my house, and recorded the monthly results. Enough for the annual assessment, and only needed my MFT calibrated every 3 years.

i made my own. 4mm brass screws and nuts in some 2" x 1" mini trunking with various resistors connected inside,
