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 calculation” for want of something better to call it, bases the volt drop on the circuit’s overcurrent device rating, which is specified in the setup for the test.
