MEGGER MET1000 GS38 VOLTAGE INDICATOR which measures CURRENT & MORE!

A voltage indicator is essential for every electrician's toolbox. This new Megger MET1000 offers more than a standard voltage indicator. This tester which meets the requirements for gs38 also offers voltage, resistance, continuity, phase rotation test and wireless current measurements.
In this Megger MET1000 review, we explore why this is a great safe isolation kit.

[@jmohammad3762]

Thanks Joe was thinking about purchasing this 2 pole detector. You have now certified it and is on my Christmas list.

[@jamesdyas542]

The only 2 pole voltage tester I’ve seen where the test leads unplug. Very much like a multimeter. Excellent videos thanks.

[@efixx]

Thanks for commenting and watching

[@ElectricianTV]

Cheers Joe good review.I am Megger biggest fan and I am forever doing reviews on my channel. But once again megger leads look really poor. Also I would love to live in the world where people think that they can put them little tips in them holders and they will be still in there when you come to use it.

[@efixx]

Thanks Will - Needs a good pouch

[@mikeselectricstuff]

Pity they don't include proving unit functionality internally.

[@001Neal100]

Can we get a video on reference methods and real world thermal imaging on loaded TandE to see how the different types of insulation affect the cable temp?

[@user-nn4wz6ro2t]

Im Bangladeshi. Your bideo nice...👌

[@three-phase562]

For me as a voltage tester, this unit lacks the loading function to determine if there are ghost voltages present. I also prefer to see probes that have fixed GS38 insulation rather than adaptable ones that will get lost and never replaced.

[@blow0me]

Looks like a decent unit, but I'll stick with my old Fluke 7-600 for a while yet ( among many others of course )

[@brianwood5220]

You can't go wrong with a megga instrument. Thanks for the demo Joe.

[@rob19632]

Nice probably better than the fluke T1000 because of the replaceable leads though my fluke is many years old now and still working fine.

[@efixx]

Replaceable leads are a good thing!

[@michaelboyes4948]

The Fluke T5-1000 and T6-1000 both have replaceable leads

[@rob19632]

I didn't realise you can replace the leads on the Fluke T5 1000 mainly because it looks like you have to dismantle it to do it. They don't look replaceable from the outside. Thanks for the heads up.

[@michaelboyes4948]

@@rob19632 yeah the leads are on a plug you have to take 1 screw out from underneaththe battery try and they unplug, there about £30 for the replacement leads

[@johncoombs3128]

You can also put crock clips on the leads on when continuity testing

[@Dog-whisperer7494]

So the single pole vase check is just a fancy neon screwdriver my UNI -T voltage indicator does the same , and cost £15 And before you say it testermans and pass stock the UNI -T range of testers , megger are overpriced and over rated and made in China not not Dover the have production fertility’s in Boston USA pencilfainer Germany and China . As do fluke. Great video Joe as always

[@efixx]

Does your £15 unit meet the requirements of GS38?

[@hasankhan-ey5oz]

Please made video on step potential and touch potential

[@efixx]

Sounds good!

[@KnugenMooMoo]

Ayeee everyone loves a torch in a gadget, interesting 🤔 maybe time for a upgrade

[@PaulMorris-UK]

So you can use it to measure earth leakage??

[@efixx]

It's not really got the resolution for that.

[@PaulMorris-UK]

@@efixx ok, thanks for the reply

[@oliverburroughs1816]

I have a fluke one that suits my needs perfectly

[@n4thb4dc0]

I have been considering one of these for a while but due to financial troubles, I haven't been able to get one

[@efixx]

It's always tricky balancing need against budget isn't it?

[@m101ist]

Nice bit of kit. 😳 For one's tool box.

[@efixx]

I like it. 👍

[@michaelboyes4948]

It's not made by megger it's rebranded its made by Sefram instruments called the VAT 70 and has been around since 2012, bennings the EU version of Metrel have the exact same too called the CM 1-4, I've had the megger version since August this year and it's crap it's gone through 6 good quality AAA batteries in 4 months

[@arcadia1701e]

Dont really see what this offers me over the £30 martindale

[@polomint46]

Normally I'm happy to watch and learn from these videos, but this product is just plain wrong. Mixing a voltage indicator with way too many extra functions, and test leads which will loose GS38 status within minutes of first use. The fact the unit has so many features means the tools importance to prove a circuit is dead is devalued, the tool will get a lot of wear and tear on the leads, that's why there replaceable, and I suspect the first set replacements fitted will be of the web, not up to scratch, not the right spec. The Megger TPT420 hits the spot for me, fixed test leads, and on the limit of extra features needed, without being too useful. That way it is used for it's primary purpose only, then stored out the way.

[@acelectricalsecurity]

I had a voltage tester from Megger a few years ago, stopped working after 18 months, got the fluke version, miles better, better quality and bomb proof. If someone can't get the right setting using a multi meter, I would say they need to stay away from electricity, and stick to plumbing.

[@tomcardale5596]

You'll soon notice you've got the wrong settings when you prove it, so it's a fairly moot point.

[@odinnln5694]

Has more than one function, the very definition of a multimeter. A rose by any other name would still smell.

[@jamesmcsorley83]

Regardless of the functions, it tests for, or detects voltage. If probes are connected to a voltage, it will indicate regardless of what mode is selected. If the batteries are removed, it functions ONLY as a voltage indicator

[@grimlockarts8386]

As a master Electrician from TX USA I think the whole use a tester rather than an actual multi-meter is ridiculous. If an electrician doesn't know how to set the meter he shouldn't be working on electrical systems that might be live.

[@efixx]

It's an interesting point but I guess the more stringent the requirement the less likely things will go wrong.

[@Romeworld95]

I don't think it's a multimeter

[@neerajg433]

Don't waste your money, bought one but not impressed slow to take readings also feel cheap in hand, disappointed as I always used megger MFT, thought this be as good .

[@boggothedoggo3890]

its a multimeter more crap from megger

[@efixx]

I think they are trying avoid the term multimeter slipping in to everyday language so others don't assume a multimeter can be used for safe isolation.

[@ElectricianTV]

It’s clearly not a multimeter not like the fluke T5 Of which you can select different functions GS 38 clearly says you’re not allowed to do that. Even though I do use the fluke T5

[@Dog-whisperer7494]

Joe I thought you were better than this , it’s a multimeter not made by megger , made in Taiwan, please accept the fact that it is a multimeter and get used to it 😭👍 . No disrespect to you or eFixx .

[@redzhebhadzhen3874]

Hi can I measure voltage with jaw please
