    These tests are always carried out on perfect circuits you should to a typical system with problems and go through things resolving them as you go

      I don't seem to recall them using this Metrel version. Everyone tends to have a favourite when it comes to test equipment. We swap regularly between lots of different testers and manufacturers and we don't struggle. Some people like menus some prefer big buttons. The full review of this tester is here ruclips.net/video/3XCXxw6SBC0/видео.html

    How do you test lighting circuit with this? I guess remove all bulbs / LED drivers first?
    If so some installations might be really hard or near impossible ( high ceiling flush 240V fittings)...?

      @@Dog-whisperer7494 One should do that with the non hinged part of the cock clip, just is case there is additional resistance in the hinge/spring. also, that resistance could be variable on how open or closed they are. so by connecting the other way round one would eliminate that resistance

    Why are the N+PE probes connected? Is it for a cut-down version of a 4-wire Kelvin connection?

    • @SparkcatcherFox
      @SparkcatcherFox Год назад +1

      Must be something like that. IR is the only test they insist you do with N and PE shorted.
      According to the book: "Follow the correct test wiring as indicated in terminal voltage monitor when the particular insulation test is selected. If only two test wires are connected, and L-N, L-PE or N-PE test is selected, then technical specification for INSULATION ALL applies."
      The accuracy spec listed for INSULATION ALL is worse than the other INSULATION spec.

    Why does the Earth have to remain in the earth bar ?. I’ve just done insulation resistance on my AM2s exam and I removed the earth from the earth bar.

    I've always disconnected the earth when ir testing, I don't see the issue with either way.
