I was shipped the wrong Habotest HT107 socket tester. This is what I'm going to do!

- The model in this video is a HT107D and it is setup for a UK power system.
In looking able at the Video I talked about Phases and want to correct that this unit only tests 1 phase systems. and my use of the work Phases was mostly wrong.
Do not play or experiment with AC electricity unless you are knowledgeable, It can be deadly. I recommend that you make sure that you use a licensed Electrical contractor.
In case you (or others finding this) are not aware, this European style plug DOES include a grounding (or earth) contact - it's just not a pin. The whole socket in the EU is recessed, and the ground contact is made at the edge before the two pins connect to the mains. So all you need for this to operate more or less correctly is a proper adapter (which is what the commenter meant by 'Schuko'). RCD and GFCI mean the same thing, but the North American GFCI devices trip at a lower current - generally 5 mA instead of 30 mA. So that would affect the test, though presumably the test would still work for you. (It probably wouldn't work for someone in the EU trying to use the HT107B, because the test current applied across Live and Ground would be too low.)
There's another model of this tester brand called the HT97. The whole thing is an LCD display so it displays everything more clearly (no need to refer to a key, and the backlight changes to amber on fault detection. It measures time to trip in milliseconds, which seems like a desirable addition - if an ancient RCD/GFCI tripped slowly it wouldn't be providing much protection. The HT97 is less easy to find, but costs about the same and seems to have the edge. Again it's available in 3 plug types (the one with E on the end being the square pins of the UK).
That’s a European plug, not UK.
ah. thank you.
Yes, typically seen in Germany.
You need a schuko adapter
Scott can you check the video in my channel and tell me if you have any idea whats the problem with this PSP speaker system?
I'm not sure how to find your video. Are you able to put some sort of link?

@@ScottBruder I have this speaker since 2005 bought with PSP 1K there is a some kind of system muting whole sound if there isnt high enough music but now its causing this problem. Can moisture on the board or dust cause this?
@@aihsanasl yes. Moisture or alot of oxidizing can cause that.
I used different cables, MP3 players instead of AC adapter used battery still sound is interrupting
I have commented on your video. It sounds like an intermittent connection. Other than that there may be a detection circuit that has some high resistance on it, so it's causing problems.
@@ScottBruder thanks a lot
@@aihsanasl not a problem. I hope you can fix it. Comment if you have any luck with cleaning in a reply on your channel and I'll reply back with next steps if needed.
