Which one is better? MI3000 or MI3112?

sparkie · Jun 8, 2011

Hey guys, Not been on here for a while.

Just wanted your opinions on which is better out of these two testers?

The MI3000:

Alphatek MI3000 Easi plus. Buy online or call

The MI3112:

Alphatek MI3112 Loop, PSC, PFC and RCD Combination Tester. Buy online or call

The MI3112 costs less but has a higher number like mi3112 rather than 3000 really sent my head west so any advice/info on these is appreciated.

I use the MI3000 and am so far really pleased with it. It costs a lot less than a megger and consequently you won't have the privilege of mistreating it without it giving up on you but nevertheless I think Metrel overall is progressing at a good pace considering just how bad their earlier examples were. Be sure to check out test-meter.co.uk and you'll even get 5% forum user discount. I've used them a few times and seem to be ok. Unfortunately I really can't say much about the MI3112 as I've no experience of it but can vouch for the MI3000. Hope this helps.

The MI3112 looks to have auto RCD testing as well, which is very useful to have.

If you are looking at the MI3000 get it here: Compare Multifunction & 17th Edition Testers

It doesn't look like the MI3112 does continuity?
The MI3000 has auto RCD.
