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.

    The Martindale ET4000 and ET4500 multifunction testers do. Mine will give percentage volt drop either all the way from the substation transformer, or from a point in the installation. The test can be carried out on 110V, 230V or 400V systems. I have no connection with Martindale, other than as a satisfied customer.
