I need to replace my current Megger MFT1553 tester was thinking of Megger 1700 series or Fluke 1654 anybody recommend don’t mind Fluke or Megger.

Many Thanks

John

Both are good in my eyes down to personal choice

There are a good few threads on megger & fluke on the forums.

One in particular by test meter our forum sponsor which contains a comparison chart.


Personally, I'm a fluke man.:rockon2:

 

[jengo22]

thanks for that i will have a look

Have Metrel 3101 and Meg 1730, never use the Meg as prefer others! Each have their good and bad points but it is a matter of choice! Bit like side cutters, I love NWS others despise them! One man's Fluke is another man's Megger so to speak!!!

Why does the Megger MFT1553 need replacing mate?

 

[jengo22]

Apprentice drop from a tower have it in for repair they just don't look after things . Little ****

fluke 1654 mate a great bit of kit and simple to use

well, when you get it back, all repaired and good as new. test the 1000V IR range on said apprentice. bet he won't drop it again.

Surely once it's back from repair, you wont need to buy another one?
If you do though, I'd go with Megger and then you''ve got a spare set of leads.

 

[parker56]

sounds like poor training to me,surely the apprentice falls of the tower and leaves the meter safe.LOL

 

[MarkieSparkie]

My apprentice would be expected to fall from the tower gracefully (so as not to alarm general public) whilst cradling my MFT to prevent damage or shock... or he could expect a shock when I give the bill, as he would be paying for any damage.:biggrin5:

I got a 1653 and prefer the megger due to the analogue display range on ir testing, the fluke just gives a static reading

 

[pencilpusher]

I find it hilarious that it's always (and only) the apprentice who makes a c**k up! :wazzzup:

Where do you get them from!?

 

[sparks1973]

if this apprentice was using the damn thing rite...it wouldn`t have dropped as he would have had the neckstrap.......around his neck......

Give him a slap for not catching it on his way past!!!

Got the tester back repaired £185.00 plus calibration certificate, the apprentice’s mother appeared at the door with the money and said sorry for her boy. She thought I was going to sack him feel like an old git going to pub haha.

He can’t do enough know we freight did him good cocky wee soso
