10 great features: Metrel Mi3152 multifunction electricians tester

The Metrel Mi3152 raises the bar for electricians multifunction testers. We take a closer look at some of the unique features which make this unit stand out compared to traditional-style circuit testers from brands such as Megger, Fluke and Kewtech.

The Mi3152 includes all of the features you'd expect on an MFT from insulation tester to RCD tests. It's the user interface which really sets the Mi3152 apart. We see it as moving from an old Nokia phone to an iPhone. (younger viewers won't remember the classic Nokia 3152, legendry battery life and its grey LCD screen)

As the electrical world becomes more complicated, the needs of a tester need to evolve to reflect this. The 18th edition of BS7671 means electricians' are more likely to see surge protection, EV chargers an expanded range of RCD types in electrical installations.

Been looking at buying this metrel or the megger mft1741+.
Which would you go with by experience? My work tends to be domestic, commercial, ev charging installations, EICR of domestic, commercial units, churches etc.

Have you utilised the autosequence programming prior to testing an installation? Easy to use?

Sending the results over to a test cert on both testers how easy is it, do they autosync over as you test or is it a case of sending after each test etc?

Excellent looking tester brilliant features and well presented as usual guys 👍👍this will make electricians lives alot easier

[johanburger]

This tester seems phenomenal. Can't wait to see all the features. I downloaded the Manual it's about 200 pages, it's thorough but would still like to play with it

[zjzozn]

Nice 👍 I’m gonna wait for the YouTube app 😂

Came across this in my feed.Purchased mine 2years ago, so impressed brought the full kit with a MI3155 and all the accessories, it does more than I need.
Only criticism is canvas bag strap with the 3152 is so small can not even put it over your shoulder !

How do you do settings for 3 low or 2 low such as megger? To avoid tripping

[elektriskietikli]

Hi, did you also have measurement result differences, when you use Metrel mi3152h and measure loop phase zero resistance with standart wires and with plug commander A1314? When i use plug commander, loop resistance is higher for around 0.25ohm.

Does that Metrel has all needed functions to make all tests at domestic electrial instalation complete certificate?

[ashleybignell]

Fantastic tester. Any chance you guys can do a short vid on testing Spd’s with the Var function? Keep up the great content.

Hi Guys I need to buy an MFT & EV Test kit out of Kewtech KT66 or the Metrel, which would you recommend?

[petertallowin]

Awesome bit of kit. It would take a lot to pull me away from my Megger and this tester may do just that. Does the EV gear come as part of the package? Thanks for the review guys.

[coco-vbnl]

Hi, which tester do you recommending from your own experiance ? megger mft or metrel 3152? Thank you?

[johnstuart]

What a piece of kit! Very impressive!! Do you have a rep around Salisbury?I'm a life long Megger user but my old faithful has given up the ghost. I was about to order a 1741+ but this has got my full attention :)

[mauriziodimichele]

hi guys, this is a really great feature packed tool. I wouldn't want to be wrong, but I seemed to understand that it is not possible to measure the resistivity of the soil. Is this actually true? Do you need any additional accessories to perform it?
If you know anything about it let us know. Thanks a lot and congratulations for the channel!

[MrSJT]

You mentioned 'you don't have to send it off to be calibrated'... Do you mean the software updates and actual calibration like what you do yearly with recommended monthly checks, or just updates?

[asp]

Where is the 'variable RCD' function like on the Megger MFT series?

[virenpatel]

Loving the update feature just like tesla has in their cars. (just and opinion)
Just what a teenager like me needs, I am gonna buy it.

[Z-add]

Is their an equivalent American brand that i can get from Amazon?

[virenpatel]

Can you send me a link to buy this tester from please?
