At work yes. The mutts nuts IMO. Plug in the transmitter thing at the socket then run the "finder" over the breakers in the DB and it finds the right one. Will look at the "make" tomorrow.

how about finding the neutral if the boards a bit of a mess?

I brought one this year for a pig of a testing job. 12 boards in a large building and nothing was marked up, saved my time and my mind. Worth every penny plug transmitter in and off to the board with the finder Di- Log cheap one not infallable but gives you a good idea made a lead with a socket on to connect to lighting circuits. Worth every penny simple to use and can save you so much time.

Hi: Just looked at the Martindale FD650 Pro, which is supposed to be 1 of the best. Only mentions tracing the Live to the breaker not the Neutrals.
Same thing with the Di-Log traces live wires to Breaker / Fuse.
Just an idea: If the board is Isolated could'nt you use a standard tone / trace kit ? i've done this a few times & never had a problem identifying wires.

I use the "Socket & See" version, it has plugtop lead & a croc clip lead so it can be used easily on any circuit. Haven't tried it on neutral wires, but i will do next time I use it.

I find them occasionally very useful where nothing is marked up, I am pretty sure you can find any cable connected (LNE).
I bought the cheap newlec one, it only has a socket connector but from "made a lead with a socket on to connect to lighting circuits" I think I will do that. Does the job.
