Great review Jordan, I’m in the process of buying this unit , looking forward to giving it a go. Although an expensive effort to not like it, reviews like this make me slightly more confident and your opinion has value. Thank you.
We used to use oscilloscopes when I was in physics at school many years ago. Used for displaying waveforms and would also show noise interference in the waveform.
Does the 10 Amp limit affect this testers ability as a lot of EV chargers now use far more current than that and this will probably become the standard in the future?
Great video friend.... Good stuff.. I also using Megger tester to validate my EV charger. To simulate the load, i have connected the 3000W mobile heater in the megger output. and set 13A output current and CP state is C . but charger says, 0kw output. but heater is ON. Any idea ? how to simulate the load ( Charging percentage of KW )
@@Tools4Sparks technically not correct. You also need an mft that will do 6mA dc tests too, so the 1741+, the TIS MFTPRO etc. a loto of the older testers will not do the dc test.
@@PhilipHudnott thanks for the info. Having just passed my 2391-52 course, I now need an mft tester. What other testers could you list that can use this ev adapter, or what other budget options are out there please?
@@LeighWinspear what brand of tester are you using at the moment? My advice would be to stick to the same brand so you have less of a learning curve. Personally I use the TIS mftpro and their adapter but I know a lot of people aren’t keen on the form factor.
Yes! i have.. I've installed a few Zappi's and found that it fails the Pre test (the LED lights up to say there is a fault) Zappi say its the way their circuitry is build and Megger say its ok. Going to Clarify this later. Did the Ohme pro lately and that tests ok.
Funny enough I had this issue today! Tested a Zappi and had the issue with the PE.. it’s one cable with correct polarity.. TNCS maybe that’s the problem? Or back feed from another source?
Hi all, see these which are handy.. th-cam.com/video/vWcZFHdgrvM/w-d-xo.html tests 1 th-cam.com/video/ZndXQYQa4po/w-d-xo.html test 2 Jordan, does the EV setting just test the 6mA?
Let us know all your thoughts on the Megger EV Adaptor EVCA 210-UK below! You can pick up your own EV Adapter here - amzn.to/3FNkgP0

Nice to see this video after I’ve just bought this tester 👏🏼
Works good with all mft’s in case anyone wondered.
Great point!
an oscilloscope is a test instrument that measures & displays different electrical waveforms.
Another great review 👏 👌
Thanks!

Can I test O-PEN fault detection using this unit?

Do you have to use the megger + tester with the EV adapter?
No it will work with any MFT

So what about the 6mA dc test as pointed out?
What about Di-log DL1930EV
did you guys ever have an issue with the PE pre test on a zappi until you turn the cp to charge ?
Yes! i have.. I've installed a few Zappi's and found that it fails the Pre test (the LED lights up to say there is a fault) Zappi say its the way their circuitry is build and Megger say its ok. Going to Clarify this later. Did the Ohme pro lately and that tests ok.

I have used this unit now for 3 months, but I can't find out what the PE pre-test is for.

Earth continuity
Does this test type A RCDs? I read that it only does type AC?
It must do! it has an EV setting
You set your mft to the correct rcd type, not the EV adaptor & away you go
I like it, bought the Megger because Fluke doesn't have one.

Jordan, does the EV setting just test the 6mA?
oh geez... didnt realise it was him.... bye
