Has anyone used a Megger DCM 305E

[Jeremy Hale]

I would like any advice on weather the Megger DCM305E will measure normal current as well as earth leakage current and if its a good tool.

 

[telectrix]

up to 100A range.

Identifying the earth leakage current - DCM305E

The DCM305E is an efficient instrument for identifying and measuring the earth leakage current in a circuit. It has six ranges 6 mA, 60 mA, 600 mA.

Good enough tool,but no DC....
I prefer AC AND DC,on the same device,and have a purpose made one,for the mA scale,which on mine,also does AC/DC

One frustration is when using in Peak Hold mode, the auto range doesn’t react, so sometimes records as OL. It may be me, not had it long and must admit I haven’t read the instructions fully.

Yeah,and my DCM 340,does not do peak hold,on DC,which can be a pain...

We can always find fault....i'm sure there is an Aesop's fable,concerning fault-finders...

On the flip side,me new 28ii is proving to be an asset...and has pretty much paid for itself already....might take it to Costa in the morning,treat it to a coffee...
