Megger Components Shortage
PLEASE NOTE: Megger is currently experiencing a global shortage of components for their popular MFT 1700 Series. We are currently operating a waiting list and as stock becomes available we will ship your order. If you would like to get your hands on these industry-leading MFT's, then we strongly advise that you get in the queue.
The Megger MFT1741 multifunction tester is an instrument designed for testing low voltage electrical installations and especially in locations that suffer from high electrical noise.
The MFT1741 offers all of the facilities needed to test electrical installations in line with the requirements of the IET Wiring Regulations, as well as valuable additional functionality such as the earth electrode resistance measurement.
As well as three-wire non-trip loop impedance testing, the MFT1741 offers two-wire testing, which is invaluable when tests must be carried out at locations where no neutral connection is available. High-current testing which delivers the fastest possible results for circuits that are not protected by an RCD or RCBO is also available.
New Loop Impedance testing technology
The MFT1741 includes a new non-trip loop testing technology that:
Prevents any influence the RCD may present to the total loop impedance value.
Faster non-trip loop testing down to 8 seconds.
This technique also allows testing of loop impedance through 10mA type AC and Type A RCDs.
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.
FEATURES
Enhanced non-trip loop impedance measurement technology.
“Confidence meter” measurement analysis (patent pending).
Full single and 3 phase compliant installation testing.
10 mA to 1 A single and 3 phase RCD testing.
Simple colour-coded test selection.
Ambidextrous operation.
