As I college student.

I'm still just experimenting with equipment etc.

I have the megger bm223 without the test leads

Can anyone recommend some cheap Test Leads for this. I'm only using these for my home study. Not professional work or anything.



Thanks.
 
I believe it’s an insulation resistance meter so it’s max voltage may well be 1000 volts , this however is most likely limited to 1 milliamp , if there is any chance you will be using this in a work environment you should use GS 38 test leads
 
The originals would have had straight plugs but these will do the job.

Hi mate I believe it is a insulation resistance and continuity tester. If I'm not mistaken.

At the moment I'm not doing any work as I'm just in Yr 1 college. .. won't be in work for atleast a couple of years.

Can you please send me a link to 1 or 2 reasonabley priced ones that I can use to practice at home with. Don't need GS38 atm. I will need crock leeds too.

Thanks mate

Hi mate

Thanks for that.

Irs say these are suitable for Insulation Resistance testing. Would it be also good for continuity testing ?

And are the GS38 compliant or not? At this stage I'm not fussed about that.

Absolutely fine for continuity testing yes. And they meet the CAT II/III requirements for connecting to mains voltages, so all good!
