Hello
I've got a Fluke 1621652B which I've been using without fault for the last couple of years.
Was doing some fault finding on a job this morning, random RCD tripping issue, when I was using the ramp test function to check the installed RCD.
Tried first test with all load disconnected to test RCD and result was fine. Reconnected all outgoing circuits and turned basics on (fridge, etc...), tried to ramp test from a local socket, RCD tripped instantly, Fluke had nothing on the screen (no result or anything).
I then tried to use the fluke again to which it came up with 'FUSE' on the screen. I thought this was strange however attempted to replace the internal fuse.
I didn't have any of the F1A fuses handy however had an F10A fuse of same size which wasn't blown (verified with voltstick continuity test) so tried this in order to verify there was no problem with tester (original fuse had in fact blown)
Unfortunately the tester still comes up with the FUSE fault, even with a working fuse fitted. There is a loud click from within the tester before the FUSE fault comes up.
Whats the prognosis? Is it knackered? Does anyone have any ideas of costings to repair? I've got solid EICRs booked in for the next few days and could really do without this hassle, should have had a spare!
