Metrel instal test 61557

[Farmelectrics]

Was sent to another building in Manchester today to carry out some testing when I got there was given a metrel instal test 61557 type my first thoughts were this looks a bit old but hey it was calibrated so off I went as the day went on I thought what a good piece of kit does anyone else still use these or have used them in the past your thoughts please

Not the most reliable result wise and a bit slow, Zs with RCD is a bit hit and miss but it can be calculated anyway!

Ohm I no there's probably better meters but as long as its calibrated the meter doesn't lie never had any unusual readings or behaviour with the meter today found it simple to use

If your happy with it then thats all that matters! :wink5:

I use a Metrel mi3000 and its great to be honest although its the cheapest new one on the market.
I have also used the Megger 1552 (i think) and found that very easy.

Might not use it again it was just given to me to use when I attended site today have you had one yourself in the past ohm
