Separate Meters Rather Than A Mft

[Stevie h]

Hi lads, sorry for the most basic of questions.

How many of you use separate meters? Do you prefer to a MFT ?

After my megger 1502 going walkies I was going to keep the kewtech kt65 I have but as I'm not the greatest with a tester I'm now thinking of another megger.... At least I can sorta use this brand.

So I'm now looking at http://isswww.co.uk/17th-Edition-Kits/Megger/Megger-PPK220-/

Thoughts ?

Cheers

I still have my old Robin set of three. Great meters that never seemed to go wrong . Only problem was you cant loop test through  RCBO circuits under 20A without them tripping. Also no auto RCD testing.

i have a MFT & IR/continuity tester. IR/continuity tester only gets used for fault finding

I have an IR/continuity in one unit then the earth loop/rcd tester as another. Both Megger.

Cheers lads, Onoff, I think the meggers you have are the same as I'm looking at.... see link.

If I can get the at the right price I'll be going for the Megger MIT320 + LRCD220 :Salute

I doubt it, my ones are old, BM221 and an LCB2500/2. They work. Never have any trouble getting them calibrated. Forgot to add I use Robins at the day job...........I just prefer the Meggers.

I"started off with three robins and after that went to two flukes but now have one megger mft

The less you have to carry the better to me

I subscribe to the old shampoo advert " why take two bottles into the shower when one will do"

To me it easier to have one meter. I do have a robin loop tester also which I keep in calibration  as the test results are a lot more accurate than a MFT. But as Slips says they will trip single pole RCBO's out.
