Which Voltage Indictor

[wessex]

I've been using a Martindale neon indicator for about 10 years and it needed replacing. Purchased the Fluke T100 only to find it trips 30mA RCD's. My bad. What would be a good replacement for the Martindale or should I just by another one. I do find the the retractable probes sleeves a bit of issue at times. Your suggestions gratefully received. I'm using a Kewtech proving unit.

the fluke should not trip rcds if you hold it on the incomer for about 30 seconds it charges then do the test it wont trip rcds.

so i was told.

What do you want the indicator for? as in what are you testing?

Yes agreed. The manual says 5 seconds, but you do not always have a neutral use. Say like at a light switch.
Normally for proving dead, but also for identifying circuits. So can be a pain if RCD/RCBO trips unnecessarily.
