Problem with Fluke 1651

[pburley]

Hi Guys
Everytime I try to test an RCD the fuse blows in my Fluke 1651 multi tester, even on half test. Any ideas?. If the Fluke needs repair can anyone suggest somewhere in the south London area.

Many thanks Guys'

bin it and buy a megger.

i have had flukes and like em, also had a megger but just purchased a metrel, the cheapest i have ever bought and by far the best to be honest

get it calibrated

Hi
it was calibrated six months ago and all OK. If I have it done again that will highlight any problems, so probably the best thing to do.

if you replace with a normal fuse you will damage the tester

Have to agree with telectrix Megger or nothing. After all make is "Fluke" maybe it's a commentary on its reliability.
