Megger 1552/3: If You Have 'Trip' Prob Please Say So Here

[acvc]

Following from previous post .... If you use a Megger 1552 or 1553 .....lets hear a 'YES' or 'NO' if you've had 'trip' reading when doing Zs on lighting/radial circuit using the 'No Trip' setting.

1552 - Yes, Along with other problems.
Now using a Kewtech KT64 with no problems, even if they are seen as the lada of the test world!.

1552

Yes, but as said, only when i've had a poor connection, wouldn't say its a design fault just make sure you get a good connection.
Think its a great piece of kit, but having said that I've only used Robin and Fluke separates before this.

Just to add to this its not tripped the breaker, just says trip on meter.

 

[Sintra]

Yes but again only due to a loss of connection during test.

 

[JulianC]

Yes but again only due to a loss of connection during test.

Same here. Not a fault with the meter.

mine always trips on lighting 6a always have to temp swap to bigger mcb

 

[james king]

as i stated YES mine did many time even tho reconnecting the probe about 8 times

 

[Amp David]

1552 never.

Why don't you calculate it? The MCB should never be replaced with a higher rated one. What if a fault were to occur whilst you were measuring Zs?

1552 never brilliant tester in my eyes

hi there
we have one at work biggest load rubbish i ever used did several ze and zs tests

kept error messaging ie 54 then out of range
insulation tests kept failing ???????

turned out the probe clips had become detached from the connection to the pcb
we had it back even more problems kep tripping out the rcd on 180 no trip etc

gave in now use a newlec yes newlec test set far better copies of the megger stuff more reliable.

cheers

slap to head did i say newlec meters were ok off to the heat shrink
