Which MFT??

[discosparky]

Hello.

I currently use a Megger MFT1552 but am starting to think that it is beginnng to show its age and that I should invest in a new tester.

I am open to suggestions as to what I should buy. Anybody got any thoughts? I want something robust and easy to use.

Cheers.

That is good tester you have right there. You've got the basics plus ramp and Auto RCD. The 1720 is the replacement equivalent if you just gotta spend yer money

Recently had a go of a kewtech kt 64. I liked it and would happily buy one. I normally use a megger 1720

Mines 3yrs old (I think) only took plastic screen cover off 2wks ago. Mint condition minus 3 of the stick on feet and mine gets used and abused. New batteries every month

Personally I'd recommend a Fluke 1654B as I have one and think its great, easy to use and has full range of tests etc.

I would keep the 1552 until it is definitely done. It is a great tester. Mine packed in last year and I replaced it with the 1720. While it is a great tester I liked the 1552 more. Only difference is the 2 wire no trip earth loop test which doesn't always give that reliable results.
