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.

    LOL 


    The forum software has redacted  f a g   when I used it to describe a cigarette!


    If the Ideal Sure Test is redesigned for the UK market I will consider getting one, but I’m not sure it would get much use. However I suspect that a manufacturer may try and hoodwink us into buying a chocolate teapot of a tester that won’t really do a satisfactory volt drop test and certainly nothing that we cannot do with the testers we already have and a calculation on the back of a cigarette packet.
