Meggar Mf1730 anyone got one?

[Diver233]

got the chance to buy a really good second hand Megger mf1730.
Can anyone tell me if it’s got more or less features than the 1721 ?.
Any help advice gratefully accepted.

Would this be a good unit for students to use?

Not sure on the features of the 1721 but I do use the 1730 and would recommend it especially if you are getting a good deal on it.

If it is in good order,and you like it,go for it.
Love it,use it,sleep with it...this is my mft...there are many like it,but this one is mine...

My biggest worry is that if I die my misses will sell all my meters for what I told her they cost

Excellent piece of kit Diver. I have the 1731 so I guess it's not too different. I feel very confident with the results I get from it, unlike my old metrel.

and once it arrives,you'll see how to spell "Megger" .

I didn’t even spot that, that is one thing that is missing on here, cannot edit posts once someone has commented

....unless you've spelt it as it's written on the meter,and some Chinese kids have knocked it up...

No that’s really not good

 

[PEG]

You'll be right.... just take the time to have a good play with it,as there are some handy features,which a lot of lads who run them,never use,or don't realise are there.
Calibrated,and with everything working,they are a cracking bit of kit,and can solve a lot of puzzles,and,i hope,make you rich and famous

The best. I chose it over the 1720 and I think it was the Bluetooth and earth stake test that made the difference. The Bluetooth doesn't work and even Megger admitted that off-the-record. Suggest you download the correct PDF manual, print it and add your own notes. A set of lightmates is useful and the remote trigger unless you have the third hand fitted.

You have the one where the Bluetooth actually works.
