hi guys im going to start my process of getting a membership with NAPIT. Business is not that great at the minute, but i would like to have the membership under my belt. my question to you guys is what Multifunctional tester would you reccomend, bearing in mind my budget would be around £300-400. people have advised robin but im not a fan of the brand, another person has advised ETHOS 8400... what you think guys
Ive always purchased Kewtech stuff, mainly because that's what we used in college. I find their support very good too. If you keep an eye on ebay you can get a KT64 for about £200. I would add on some extra to get it calibrated when you buy it to make sure all is ok.
I have the earlier version of this one. https://www.test-meter.co.uk/metrel-mi3000-easi-plus-multifunction-tester/ Does everything you need for domestic and the majority of commercial/industrial. Kind regards
I used to use expensive gear like Megger but got it all stolen. So I purchased a Kewtech KT63 which does everything I need it to do and is reasonably priced. Paying over a £1,000 for a tester is no longer necessary when Kewtech gear does the job and is much cheaper. I am not the type of person to advocate cheap for the sake of it because my philosophy has been, and always will be, quality over price. I like good quality stuff and will pay for it. I was sceptical about Kewtech because it was cheaper but having used it for three years now I am very happy with it and it is good enough to satisfy my philosophy. I won't look at Fluke or Megger its over priced for what it does.
I found the Metrel MI3000 to be a good piece of kit. Cost new the same as a second hand Megger, does most everything that a Megger or Fluke does. Has rechargeable batteries. Won't test B type RCDs, no Bluetooth and people may query low Zs values.
