im bulding my first tool kit so i was browsing round for a socket tester and this came up. and it got me thinking how useful would the loop test even be. and wouldnt these need a calibration etc Martindale EZ150 E-Ze check Xtra Non-Trip Earth Loop Impedance Socket Tester | eBay

So what would it do for you? You need yo save up for a mft

just bought my self a megger mft 1553. just thinking for the people who buy them. they mustn't be that accurate etc

 

[telectrix]

they're not accurate. they're just as simple tool, same as a voltstick is. a rough guide only. i have a fluke socket tester which has a RCD test built in. no way of telling the trip time or current, but useful to isolate a circuit, saves a trip to the CU.
