18th Edition amendment one. Volt drop measurement, who is spreading the rumour we need new testers?

Sparkingchip
Who is the test equipment manufacturer and/ or importer spreading the rumour that we will need new volt drop testers?


Out of interest I have tried an internet search for volt drop testers than can be used to test UK fixed installations and drew a blank with only testers suitable for use in the USA at lower voltages coming up in the search results along with results for auto electrics.

    I know that my testers don't do all that I want them to do. They don't make the tea and can not receive television as well, or predict racing results. Regarding Volt drop, that can be calculated from tables. Years ago in the time of the incandescent light bulb, if you turned on an electric room  heater or the immersion heater or kettle and the room bulb did not dim so that you could not find the kettle in the kitchen the Volt drop was acceptable.
