Just a quick review of their services:

I ordered a 50m Megger wandering lead to replace my broken 30m one from test-meter.co.uk. I checked other online prices before ordering and found that it was sold at it's cheapest from another supplier for about £5 less than test-meter. When I phoned test-meter they were more than happy to price match, in fact they even beat the cheapest price elsewhere by a few pennies!

Really good service, very polite, very helpful and a speedy delivery! I ordered Tuesday afternoon and received my delivery this morning.

Overall, I am very impressed with their service and would highly recommend to others!

stop scrattin around for PR freebies Damian...lol..

interestingly enough regarding the subject of wander leads..

how many (after testing with it at the furthest point it will reach from the MET/dis-board earth)...then null out the value...and procede to use the last point measured as the reference point to move on?..

i do it all the time on bigger places....

Every time I wind it in or reel it out I null.

Bloody goody two shoes!! :winkiss:

yes but what i meant was using the last measured point as the reference to then move on....

this is why i carry 2 breakout boxes...

Ah yes I see what you're getting at! Erm, no, I haven't, between us we have 100m worth of wandering lead which has always been long enough on the occasion one of us has come across a circuit longer than 50m in a straight line. We've done a number of massive installations (size wise) but from memory all final circuits were fed locally from sub DBs anyway so I don't recall ever having to do anything flamboyant with the leads. Nothing to stop you doing what you've described though!

well just recenty Damian i was conducting ECRs at care homes....so far i have done 3 of them...in different parts of west yorks...

its thermal magnetics in the main panel...then squareD S-line sub boards throughout with QO-E breakers...

and theres a lot of corridors etc ..my wander lead is 30 meters...i made it myself out of an old telephone reel with some 1.5mm tri-rated G/Y and a 4mm multi-lam plug at one end..4mm chassis socket on the reel...

needs to be longer really...but as that was what i had to work with then i just use the method i have described above....

in fact dont kewtech describe the same method using that pat thingy they sell...where you can turn your low resistance ohmmeter into a makeshift pat tester?...

Thanks again Test-Meter. I ordered my Kyoritsu multimeter on the 14th and got it yesterday on the 17th.

They don't stock the item but they sourced it and supplied it to me cheaper than anywhere else on the web!

Top job

Which tester was it Damian? Id be interested to know your opinions about it after you've used it. I have several Kyoritsu testers and they're a brand I like a lot.
