Discuss Voltage tester, am i thinking about this too much? in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

one thing to think about is that any tester that has a lcd display, indicating the exact voltage present should be calibrated. more expense, whereras the simpler led voltage indicators don't require calibration.
 
The HSE GN just says that the test instrument should be proved to be working on a known live source or a proprietary proving unit before and after use, so there is no requirement for a proving unit, per se, but as has been highlighted sometimes one might be necessary.

If it is of any interest I have a new, boxed Megger TPT220 for sale and a used set of Martindale leads and proving unit. PM me if you are interested.
