16th Edition Test Equipment
I am looking for 16th Edition Test Equipment, insulation resistance
tester to start with and others as funds allow, I have tried eBay but not sure if I am searching specifically enough as nothing much comes up. Anyone with experience of eBay able to offer search tips for these items or indeed any other sites for the equipment ?(preferably second user) Thanks |

About 100 quid including VAT etc. you mean this one http://tinyurl.com/ti8t which I also bought. Chris |

I was under the impression that in order to produce certificates of conformance then (a) you need to be an NICEIC member and (b) your test equipment has to be regularly calibrated. (a) is straightforward enough. However would this meter be a good candidate to satisfy (b)? I'm not saying it isn't, I'm just wondering.....

Any test kit can be "calibrated", just send it off to one of the many calibration houses every year, it'll come back with a calibration certificate, job done. At work we use Universal Instrument Services, who come on site several times a year and cal any kit that's due. -- Steve |

writes If you're in the NIC you can now do 'self calibrations'. How's that work then? I assume some kit has to be checked every day / before use, i.e. I know the insulation testers on the production lines at work are checked with known standard test boxes every day. Or do you mean checking accuracy of say a voltmeter? At some point whatever you local "standard reference" is, is itself going to have to be calibrated against something else that has traceable calibration. -- Steve |

Chris If ur looking for test equiptment then search eBay using the term "Megger" you will then find loads of insulation and earth loop testers. I have a Screwfix 100 quid tester and its ****e when compared to a decent Megger BM200 tester. Always go for the Megger or Robin brandnames if possable,you can get a new Megger 500v Insulation tester and continuity for around 200 its model number BM121 i think. Jon. |

At some point whatever you local "standard reference" is, is itself going to have to be calibrated against something else that has traceable calibration. If you set up a test rig with a radial for testing Ze\Zs, a radial for testing RCD, and a basic resistance box of whatever resistance you want. Then you can check these with currently calibrated meters and then use these readings to check the results of other meters. Obviously there is still a need for at least one machine to be calibrated by a 'proper' calibrator but I think the idea is if you know how to use them competently then you'll know how to check\calibrate them correctly as well. We had the NIC inspector round recently and he clarified these points for me. Have a look for 2080 electrical checkbox on http://www.theinstrumentcentre.com/. (Catalogue - Multi\installation testers) It's basically a 'homemade' version of one of these. -- SJW A.C.S. Ltd. |

However, for the earth loop impedance tester I did go to eBay. Got a
nice Robin for 85 quid. I got current model digital Seaward earth loop and RCD testers for 80-90 quid each, with brand new calibration certificate. I got a "Newlec 121" insulation/continuity for 30 quid. Working, but not certificated, it appears to be a rebadged BM121. Christian. |

All the Newlec test gear is rebadged AVO Megger although the Newlec ones are red now but still the same spec as the Megger meters. Jon. |

Managed to navigate eBay and was succesful in getting a Megger CM200 for £323. Thanks again. |
