Ohmmeter cuts the cost of low resistance testing
For the wide range of low-resistance testing applications, which require test currents of up to 200A, a digital low-resistance ohmmeter is a convenient and cost-effective choice.
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.
Called the Megger PPK210, this kit is competitively priced and more importantly, is supplied with a free calibration certificate, which is an additional cost with many instruments.
The testers also comply fully with the 16th edition of BS7671 IEE Wiring Regulations, as well as the stringent IEC61010-1 instrument safety requirements.
The MIT310 insulation tester has 250V, 500V and 1000V insulation test options, and is, therefore, particularly suitable to domestic testing, as many kitchens and bathrooms are fitted with SELV lighting, which must be tested at 250V.
The LRCD210 combined both a non-tripping loop test and the necessary RCD testing on 230V supplies and offers all the functionality required for the domestic market.
Contractors can change between loop and RCD tests at the simple flick of a switch.
As an even lower cost option, Megger offers the Part P kit with its BM227 handheld insulation resistance and continuity tester, offering only the 250V and 500V insulation tests, along with the LRCD.
Instruments in Megger's new Part P kits feature comprehensive safety functions to protect users from the consequences of accidental misuse or accidentally connected to 415V three-phase installations. Request a free brochure from Megger ...
