MET1000<\/a><\/strong> is that it has a replaceable lead set, so should the test leads ever be damaged, they can be replaced easily and inexpensively.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOther key features include automatic polarity detection, automatic detection of AC and DC voltage, and a fast-response LED bar display that complements the main backlit digital display. These capabilities, together with its IP65 ingress protection rating, make the MET1000 a versatile go-anywhere instrument, while its CAT IV 600V and CAT III 1000V safety ratings, in line with IEC 61010, mean that it is suitable for use on any part of low-voltage installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The MET1000 has a built-in open-jaw current sensor that makes measuring AC currents up to 200A fast, easy and safe. It measures AC and DC voltage up to 999.9V, even if its batteries are exhausted, and resistance up to 50 k\u03a9. It also offers continuity checking with audible confirmation, phase rotation sensing for three-phase systems, simple single-pole voltage detection and an integrated torch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The instrument features data hold and a unique self-test function that provides extra safety by allowing users to quickly verify that it is working correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEvery electrician and contractor wants an instrument that can be easily carried to make quick measurements whenever and wherever the need arises,\u201d said Peter Wade of Megger, \u201cand we\u2019ve developed the MET1000 to meet this need. It\u2019s small and light, yet also tough and dependable. It offers all of the basic functionality that users need checks and it\u2019s very affordable. It will quickly become a firm favourite with anyone who uses it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
