Meter calibration

Chris Pearson
Mine is due, but CEF, who seem to be as good as anybody at making the process painless, are not doing them at the moment due to covid.


Any other recommendations?


(I might point out that I have a Megger Checkbox for my Megger MFT as well as a nominated workshop socket for more frequent checking of Zs and RCD trip times. Variation from test to test is perfectly acceptable.)

    Has anyone ever had a modern digital test meter go out of calibration without it having first received serious damage? I can't help feeling that frequent recalibration is a hangover from analogue meter days.


    Agreed! But we have to play the game. I wonder how often the travelling calibration checkers get their instruments calibrated?
