Multimeter calibration


Recommended Posts

We purchased a calibration test kit and test our own meters for calibration yearly, and we by a new meter each year with a calibration certificate to test our meters against. 

The old meters we test for calibration and then use them as spares or replacement for failed meters.

But 9.99 will need more than calibration

 

old ACT stuff was TES of Taiwan,

 

Currently have a Martindale which quite nice (which I think is BRK precision)

 

Cheapest I'd go is Temma or Uni-Trend, below that whats the point ?

Fluke MM's here and an ACT Gold batt tester for us hatchback fly-by-nights, Metrel for mains testing, OK it's not Megger, but at least it's not HungFu5000

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

Yeah the mains tester is about ten years old, was made in Poland :)

 

Looks like this but the mains testing, rather than PAT version...

Master (office held) meter only needs to be calibrated every two years, save yourself some money.

Office held meter which you check issued meters against yearly only needs to be done every 2yrs, that's what the NSI say
