Hi
I am currently learning inspect and test, a friend gave me a meter to play with, a kewtech KT61, now the problems is that i cant find any reference to a 5x rcd test, however i have seen reference to someone with one of these meters on this forum that says he did a 5x test with it, there's nothing in the manual about it.

Could anyone on here who knows these meters please tell me if it is possible to do a 5x test and if it is , how to set the meter to do it

If not, then what other meters would i need as i intend to do my 2394/5 this year thanks :)

....ref. to other thread

The KT61 can do a 5x RCD test for 30mA RCDs only. Set the RCD switch to "150 fast". (This information is in the manual.)
 
Ah thank you
I was looking at the X1/2 and X1 knob as the meter i was using the other day had x/12 x1 and x5 switch and i thought the RCD knob was just to select the setting for the RCD, bit of a noob, all a bit chaosy in my head at the moment ;)

thanks again :)
 
No worries, "150 fast" is a really weird way of describing it!

Good luck for when you take your exams. :)
 
Turns out the meter was faulty after sending it back to Kewtech, got a big discount on a KT63, paid £330 for it, got it yesterday so all good now :)
