Details

The Megger MFT1741 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.

Overlaying the new non-trip loop impedance measurement is the new “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.

The MFT1741 offers a wide range of test functions, designed for all electrical installation testing and verification of low voltage building wiring and distribution testing scenarios. The MFT1741 is IEC 61010 CAT IV 300 V rated for safe connection anywhere within the LV network on single and three-phase systems.

The new Confidence Meter has been enabled on the three-wire loop impedance measurement mode (3Lo) of the Megger MFT1741. This replaces the existing 3-wire loop technology, offering the following benefits:

- New Confidence Meter adaptive measurement
- Graphical representation of measurement ‘quality’ using the analogue arc
- Stable, repeatable loop test result on noisy circuits
- Reduced need for multiple testing from variable results
- The ability to test through 10 mA RCDs and RCBOs
- Option for testing 30 mA Type B RCDs without the risk of tripping

In use:

The 3Lo measurement should be chosen only where testing through an RCD or RCBO is required. Connection of the MFT1741 or MFT1845 is made to the phase, neutral and earth conductors using either the standard mains plug test lead or a three-wire test lead.

Pressing the TEST button will perform a safety check to ensure no hazardous earth conditions exist. The test sequence will then measure the earth loop impedance of the circuit and display an initial value within a four second window.

Hire Information & Pricing
