New loop testers give guaranteed performance!
A test option guaranteed not to trip RCDs, and safe operation even if connected to a live three-phase supply - two key benefits of the new Megger LT300 range of earth-impedance loop tester
MFT1500-series testers provide all of the testing facilities needed by electrical contractors in a single, compact, and very robust instrument.
To protect users, even when they are working under difficult conditions, the testers incorporate an extensive range of safety features.
These include live circuit warning, auto-discharge after insulation tests, and colour-coded controls which reduce the risk of operator error.
The testers are available in two versions.
The low-cost MFT1501 provides facilities which include continuity testing with an adjustable-threshold buzzer; continuity measurement up to 99.9kohms; insulation testing at up 1,000V; standard, selective and DC-sensitive RCD testing; RCD ramp testing; non-tripping and high-current loop tests; three-phase loop tests; and prospective short-circuit current measurement.
To these basic features, the MFT1502 adds backlighting not only to the display, but also to the selector switches, making the instrument particularly easy to use in poorly lit areas.
Other features include an illuminated switch probe, and a durable carrying case.
The SPL1000 illuminated switch probe - the first of its type - provides a convenient light-source at the probe tip, which makes testing much easier, and includes a test button which greatly facilitates single-handed use.
Also incorporated in the probe are interchangeable probe tips for reaching difficult terminals, as well as a status LED, which shows red if the instrument is connected to a live circuit when the insulation range is selected, and green when a valid test result is displayed.
