YOU ASK:
I’M LOOKING FOR A FAST AND EASY WAY OF COMPLETING R2 AND R1+R2 TESTING AT SOCKETS WITHOUT HAVING TO REMOVE THE FASCIA FROM THE WALL TO GET TO THE CONNECTIONS. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN SUGGEST?
MEGGER SAYS:
What you need in this circumstance is a socket adapter. Fortunately, Megger has just launched a new one: the MSA1363. It lets you make test connections to the live, neutral and earth conductors of a circuit via a standard socket outlet, without the need for you to dismantle the socket or expose any live terminals or connections. The MSA1363 socket adapter has colour-coded terminals on the front which allow the test leads to be connected quickly, accurately and safely. Using the adapter saves time and trouble as well as minimising the risk of damage to the socket or the surrounding decoration. It allows measurements to be made with any suitable instrument that has test leads fitted with standard 4 mm connectors.
