Loop tester option avoids tripping RCDs
A test option which is guaranteed not to trip RCDs, and safe operation even if accidentally connected to a live three-phase supply, are among the key benefits of earth-impedance loop testers.
RCD tester misuse does not damage unit or user
Even if this RCD tester is inadvertently connected to a live three-phase supply, it will remain undamaged, and present no safety hazard to the user.
New Megger instruments with downloading facilities include the LT330 loop tester, the MIT330 insulation and continuity tester, and the RCDT330 RCD tester.
All are provided with sufficient internal storage to hold at least 1,000 test results, while convenient USB connections enable straightforward and reliable transfer of results to a PC.
For ease of organisation, data can be stored in the instrument against as many as 255 separate job numbers.

Earth spikes unecessary with resistance testers
Megger's new DET10C and DET20C earth resistance testers eliminate the use of temporary earth spikes and measuring earth resistance is no longer a time-consuming and complicated task.
300V insulation testers cut electrical accidents
Updated nsulation and continuity testers conform fully to IEC 61010 for use in Category IV 300V applications, as well as the existing CATIII 600V, and meet IEE Wiring Regulations.
This allows, for example, a different job number to be used for each customer or project.
The data is stored in flash memory, which means that is safely retained even if the instrument's battery is removed or runs down.
Developed after extensive consultation with contractors to find out exactly what they were looking for in test instruments, Megger's new downloading instruments, like all of the company's innovative 300-series products, feature a unique ergonomic design.
This makes them extremely tough and comfortable to hold and operate, even when they are used for long periods under difficult site conditions.
Between them, the new downloading instruments cover all of the test requirements prescribed by the current 16th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations.
They also offer a wide range of features designed to make them fast and convenient to use, including backlit displays and range selectors, and test probes with an integral test button.
While Download Manager software is included with all the 330 series testers, to make the most of the instrument's capabilities, Megger's PowerSuite Professional offers a range of extra features for automatic form filling and report completion.
All 300-series instruments incorporate comprehensive safety features to protect users from the consequences of accidental misuse, and all are guaranteed safe if accidentally connected to 415V three-phase installations.
Megger 300-series instruments are exceptionally tough, with display covers and rubber protection in the form of an over-moulding.
These features allow them to withstand use under harsh site conditions indefinitely, while careful design of the circuitry used in the instruments ensures repeatable, accurate results.
All of the instruments in the range are supplied with a full calibration certificate. Request a free brochure from Megger ...
