New Multi Function Tester

[NDG Elecs]

Just got my Megger 1552 back from calibration. Quite a few of the applied test values and what the MFT actually recorded were 100% accurate. I think that's excellent for a well used machine that is 7 years old. Instills confidence to know it's accuracy is as such. So I would wholly recommend Megger.

Not sure about automatic download of results to forms, but if you are doing a lot of EICRs then it would be very useful to have.

I wasn't going to suggest Megger, cos on other similar threads they don't appear to be the favorite flavour, but another vote from me, I have the 1730. OP as you suggested DO NOT buy the Megger Powersuite software. The tech support for it only lasts 30 days, and it ties you into Megger software, as other people can only read electronically if they have the software to, and it's ridiculously expensive. And it is quite frankly rubbish anyway.

I don't think you'll find any device that will download it's readings to other 3rd party software, the Megger won't.

I agree.
Personally I find it quicker to put it into software for laptop or iPad anyway.
If you are doing commercial EICRs and other work amtech over anything else.
I've tried them all after asking opinions on here.
Yes it is more money a year, but the extra functions and reports you can print have won me a fair few remedial jobs over competitors who where the same price.if I'm honest the amtech advert will sell it to any tradesman lol.

Thanks everyone for your advice. The results show megger as a clear winner though I really want to go MFT over seperates so its looking like the 1720 will be the way we go. I particularly like Billy10's suggestion of the Easy Cert Suite over cloud which is something I will be investigating further.

Once again thanke for the help.
