Hello. Does anyone have a fluke 1664fc tester, and have problems with it ? Most times I use it, it comes up with error message 5, which I think is interference on a circuit. Had the tester a couple of years now. Starting to wish a had bought a megger. It also trips rcds out, spoke to Fluke technical and their response was its a very complex tester, that's when technical is open, as apparently technical is closed on Tuesdays, as its the chaps day off !!!
Why bother with low current loop tests on rcd protected circuits?
I do a lot of minor works certificates, this week I collected 250 NCR copy sets of personalised Minor Works certificates from the printers I use.
All I want is to ensure there is a good earth connection where required and a loop test does that without dismantling the consumer unit, there are usually too many other issues to deal with to waste time doing excessive testing.
Needless to say I have slimmed down the model certificate in the regs book and made more space for comments on the existing installation to get a more useful certificate for both myself and my customers.
