Discuss Two test leads, one port in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
The makers of the MFT?Hoping someone might be able to help. I’ve seen an ‘adaptor’ that allows 2 test leads to run from one port of an MFT (doing IR test). But, can’t find anywhere to buy it. Anyone know where I could get one from?
Surely, you understand that let’s say you link L&N together and test with earth, as you’re passing 500v down both L&N then the potential difference is zero. So, no you would not destroy the leads.Erm, why would you wat to do that is the obvious question.
The idea of ir testing is to show the resistance between 2 items, if you add a 3rd in to the equation then you have the possibility of joining 2 things that are at different potential and destroying a set of leads amongst the other risks.
That’s what I thought but sadly not. Just thought there might be a ‘universal’ one out there. If not, it’s not the end of the world.The makers of the MFT?
IR test is 2 lead test anyways.....can’t see how joining em is gonna achieve anything ?? Kewtech do a piggy back lead for joining neutral and earth when performing Ze high current loop test....is that what you are referring to?Hoping someone might be able to help.

Roger that evorg88. Think I’ve found them on eBay to.The kewtech test leads allow this. The green test lead has two ports allowing you to piggy back off it. Just found some on amazon but I can’t post the link as it says I’m spamming...
I get that it’s a two lead test. But watching a GSH video where they do IR test, rather than using croc clip to L&N they had this funky looking piggyback lead.IR test is 2 lead test anyways.....can’t see how joining em is gonna achieve anything ??

It’s just rather that clipping L&N together when doing test where there might be unknown loads.Can you clarify what you are trying to achieve by joining the 2 leads to perform an IR test.
So still using 2 test leads?.....just a way of joining the cable cores together rather than crocing them?I get that it’s a two lead test. But watching a GSH video where they do IR test, rather than using croc clip to L&N they had this funky looking piggyback lead.
What's the point though, as opposed to croc-ing L+N in a single clip?So still using 2 test leads?.....just a way of joining the cable cores together rather than crocing them?
I’m with you Tony.....just trying to build a picture of what @Haworth is talking aboutWhat's the point though, as opposed to croc-ing L+N in a single clip?
Non really, just wanted to know if you could buy these things.What's the point though, as opposed to croc-ing L+N in a single clip?
