need and tester

[tom1]

Many fasttrack courses - you use their testers (which are provided) so quite a few people are qualified but havent got their own tester yet.My Megger MFT1552 does all the tests automatically (apart from IR) and also has the probe thingy with the test button on it. Havent used it tho. So dont need three hands with that tester either.

Cheers

its better than my 1552 as i have to push the test button for rcd test

made in outer mongolia, put in a cardboard box in the UK maybe (like everything else these days unfotunately)

though going by their QA and quality maybe they are really british, (think BL)

Steps may

Ive mellowed these days...

we do hire testers of all shapes and sizes from Single function testers to thermal imagers.

It does depend on what we have in stock though.
