part p tester

[johnad]

What are your recommendations on the all in one tester to cover all the part p tests?
Are the all in ones better than separates if so what one?
I was looking at the new one from megger at around £600.
any thoughts please

part p tester

cover all the part p tests?

No such thing - now there are testers that comply with BS7671 made by Alfatek,Megger. Fluke etc etc but it's a bit like asking people which car they would choose.

Go for the megger mate

The only way you'll find the answer to this question is through experience. A lot depends on how you work: if you mostly do rewires I'd recommend separates. If you mostly do PIRs then the Fluke 165X series is hard to beat for versatility (but use third-party croc-leads!) KewTech kits is robust and reliable, but not pretty. Megger stuff robust, reliable and pretty but expensive for separates...

The major disadvantage with an all-in-one is that if you drop it you might lose all functionality in one go.

Don't do cheap, stick with a reputable brand even though it may cost a few quids more. Megger are a good brand.

why have you posted this question twice (it's also in your question regarding DIS training). There is little point getting a tester until you've had some training mate. Electricity kills.
