The MFT1845 multifunction tester has been designed for testing low voltage electrical installations, particularly in locations that suffer from high electrical noise. It provides all the tests required to complete the necessary electrical certification for industrial, commercial and domestic fixed wiring installations.

TrueLoop enhanced non-trip loop impedance measurement technology:

The MFT1845+ includes a new non-trip loop testing technology that prevents any influence that the RCD may present to the total loop impedance value and has non-trip loop testing down to 8 seconds. This technique also allows testing of loop impedance through 10 mA type AC and Type A RCDs.

New Confidence Meter measurement analysis (patent pending):

Overlaying the new non-trip loop impedance measurement is the new Megger Confidence Meter. As loop impedance values can be dramatically affected by circuit noise, the Confidence Meter displays the degree of confidence in the accuracy of the measured loop impedance. Using the digital ARC to indicate the analytical process, the measurement is continually monitored and adjusted when circuit noise is present, resulting in a dramatically improved and repeatable test result.

New electric vehicle charge point testing:

The MFT1845+ includes an automatic EV Charge Point RCD test sequence, including the 6 mA DC test (EVCA adapter accessories required). Test results can be reviewed or saved to memory and reviewed later.

The DCM305E is perfect for identifying and measuring the earth leakage current in a circuit where the RCD keeps tripping out unexpectedly. The measured result will quickly identify whether the earth leakage current present is excessive, causing the RCD to trip, or if the RCD itself is over sensitive or faulty.

Specially designed to check earth leakage currents, the DCM305E is an efficient and highly versatile instrument. It has six ranges 6 mA, 60 mA, 600 mA, 6 A, 60 A, 100 A with a minimum resolution of 0.001 mA on the 6 mA range. Its upper range also enables TRMS AC current measurements up to 100 A.

Additionally, this clampmeter vastly improves measurements on circuits with harmonics/electric noise on the cables using a low pass filter of 50/60 Hz.

Safety is of the utmost importance and with that in mind, the DCM305E exceeds the latest safety design standards IEC1010-2-32 and EMC requirements through a series of safety features that provide you with a safer working environment.

Other key functions include the “Data Hold” feature which aids in measurements where there is a problem with accessibility or poor lighting, and the automatic power off feature that extends the battery life.

Application

There is a legal requirement for any landlord, employer or owner of a place of work or public place, to ensure that all electrical equipment accessible by tenants, employees or the public is maintained in a safe condition, and an acceptable method of ensuring this is by routine electrical testing. This can be performed by electrical contractors, specialist PAT testing organisations, maintenance departments, facilities management companies or in fact, any competent person who has suitable knowledge and training in portable appliance testing.

The PAT400 range is suitable for performing portable appliance testing in locations such as hotels, public houses, schools, colleges, nurseries, shops, offices, theatres, banks, restaurants, cafés, sports and leisure facilities, cinemas, factories and hair salons etc. where high volume testing requires that accurate records may be difficult to maintain, or aided by, on-board memory and download to management software. The PAT450 is particularly suitable for use in tool-hire shops where equipment is routinely tested prior to hire, or service workshops where deep disassembly is routine, and will perform a flash test in addition to standard PAT tests.

The TDR900 can be used for any cable consisting of at least two insulated metallic elements, one of which may be the sheath or shield of the cable. The Meter has automatic internal matching networks to allow testing of 25Ω, 50Ω, 75Ω, 100Ω, 125Ω, or 150Ω cables. (These correspond to power, telephony, CATV, and LAN cables.)

The meter can be closely matched to the cable under test using the menu selection keys. The propagation velocity value can be similarly adjusted to match the cable under test; thus ensuring an accurate distance measurement.

The other user adjustable setting is changing the distance measurement units (feet or meters).

The meter is housed in a rugged ABS enclosure which is dust and weatherproof to IP 42. The unit also comes with a soft carrying case and an alligator clip adapter. It is powered by 4 AA (NEDA 15A or NR 6) batteries, which are stored in a compartment on the back of the meter. The batteries are held in a carrier for quick and easy replacement.

• Complete phase-sequence and motor-rotation testing in one instrument
• Ensures correct phase hookup in one easy test
• Rugged and portable tester
• Performs additional polarity and continuity checks

The motor and phase rotation tester permits the electrical contractor or industrial maintenance electrician to permanently connect and tape the terminals of the motor being installed, without having to first energize the motor by a temporary hookup from a power source, if available, to determine motor rotation. Therefore, the test set eliminates the need for temporary connections that can be time consuming, costly and quite hazardous, particularly where many large, high-voltage motors are involved.

Also, certain types of drives should never be rotated in the wrong direction. In such cases, the temporary hookup or trial method, having a fifty-fifty chance of being wrong, can do serious harm.

The three motor leads on the left side of the test set are for attachment to the terminals of the motor being tested for rotation determination.

Fuses are inserted in the motor A and C test leads as protection in the event the user accidentally touches these leads to an energized circuit. These standard fuses are easily removed and replaced from their panel-mounted holders.

The three lines leading to the right of the test set are for direct attachment to energized ac power systems up to 600 volts to determine the system phase sequence. A four-position switch selects the test to be made - system phase sequence, motor rotation and transformer polarity. The selector switch connects a D-size dry cell into the circuit when the rotation of a motor or the polarity of a transformer is being checked. In the OFF position, both the meter and the battery are disconnected from all circuits.

A push switch is connected in series with the battery and opens the circuit during transformer polarity testing.

The dry cell is easily removed and replaced from its panel-mounted holder by a coin-slot access cap. The dc zero-center ammeter indicates correct or incorrect rotation or polarity by deflecting its pointer to the right or left. A zero or null adjuster is provided for the ammeter.

• Operates at low voltage
• Battery operated
• Measures voltage up to 30 kV

• The Model 830220-1 Cable Phasing Meter offers a safe and quick method of measuring voltage and determining phase rotation of underground distribution systems using the capacitance test point of elbow connectors. Most manufacturers of high-voltage cable terminators incorporate capacitance test points into their elbow connectors. These test points are designed for measuring purposes.
