Hello all.. hope you're having a peaceful saturday?
I am about to buy a new MFT (probably from test-meter as I know they are good) and wanted to ask a few specifics on the megger.
Firstly, how much of a pain is it not being able to just plug the 1711 or the 1721 in to recharge it? Do you seriously have to remove the batteries each time to charge? Don't really want to spend £1000 for the 1731 just to get this function.
Secondly, are there any real benefits of the 1721 over the 1711? One of the differences is the 1721 offers '15mA continuity test', does this mean it can do a more accurate test when the results are very low? Another function on the 1721 is that it can test leakage current, can it test down to very low amounts of earth leakage, i.e <30mA to look for nuisance tripping on RCD's?
Lastly, any other differences you find really noticeable between the 1710(1711), 1720(1721) and 1730(1731)?
Cheers
