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 !!!
The house VOELCB appears to operate satisfactorily, however there was originally a second intake and meter for the farm buildings, when these were removed and the farm buildings were connected to the house supply no one bothered with earth protection.
This is going way off the subject of the original post, but going back to what I said above, when faced with installations like this the last thing you want is to waste time trying to determine something as simple as the earth loop impedance on a circuit.
So as it stands I’m hanging on to my dedicated two wire no-trip loop tester despite having a new MFT. But that still leaves several other surplus testers that my wife thinks I should get rid of to clear some space.
