Megger 1741+ vs Metrel MI3152

Which loop test is slow? The hi current or the anti-trip?

Anti trip tests will take longer as the tester needs to do a lot more to get a somewhere near accurate result.

Anti trip loop tests will always be a bit of a trade off as they are so susceptible to noise and other interference in the system.

If you want accurate test results then you need to accept that it takes time to carry out the test.

Thanks Davesparks, it was the anti-trip but that explains a lot I've decided to go with the Metrel

If you go for the Metrel get their little box of tricks for testing RFC. Makes it a breeze.

Do you have a code or picture of the box of tricks for testing RFC.

+1 for the Metrel, great bit of kit pretty much like a PC really. Not had it long and I am still getting used to it. Not used a Megger so couldn't comment if it is better or not.

Hello mate, what setting are you using for Ze test? Thanks.
