Replacing Earth Leakage Clamp Meter

ietmgreen
I am looking at the Megger DCM305E Earth Leakage Clamp Meter.

For general domestic fault tracing.

Has anyone got opinions on this meter or a better alternative?

Regards,

Mike.

    Avoid the TIS 560. Its ranges are 60A, 20mA, 2mA - so if you have a leakage current of 21mA say, then on the 20mA setting it's out of range, while on the 60A setting it displays as 0.1A (maybe).  I.e. it can't accurately display leakage currents usefully in the region where RCDs might be tripping.
