Mulltifunction tester advise

[ezekiel]

About to but my first tester and looking on ebay and at moment looking at MEGGER MFT 1501/02 or Fluke 1651 Mutifunction Tester any input on either appreciated

I've had both and in my opinion the Megger is the clear winner.

Worth looking at the megger MFT1552 which also has an auto RCD test feature: http://isswww.co.uk/products/Megger/MFT1552.aspx

is there any difference between MFT1552 and Megger 1502 / 02 ?

The 1552 has an auto RCD test, that's it.

Glad to hear
After using various other multifunction testers - Fluke (1653), DiLog (9083P), Martindale and Metrel (Instaltest), I can honestly say the Megger is in a different league.

Megger is good solid and unbreakable - auto RCD test saves plenty of walking. They do a firmware upgrade for the 1552 that ensures it wont trip MCB's when testing EFLI. Megger every time for me.

I have the 1653.Didn't rate it at first, actually wanted my old separate robin testers back, but once you get used to zeroing properly, and get a decent set of leads, then its great.

 

[Cremeegg]

Get the Megger - comes with a decent set of leads to start with and a single button press to zero your leads. It's almost idiot proof

ha idiot proof - sounds like the one for me not much price diff between between 1552 and 1553 so going for one of them - after ive sold xbox
