The Megger MFT1741+ Multifunction Tester is suitable for conducting full single- and three-phase insulation testing. As indicated above it is able to conduct single- and three-phase RCD testing between 10mA and 1A.
The Megger MFT1741+ Multifunction Tester’s NEW non-trip loop impedance testing technology also enables loop impedance testing of 10mA type AC and A RCDs. Additionally, NEW non-trip loop impedance technology prevents RCDs influencing the total loop impedance value and increases the speed of testing: non-trip loop impedance tests can be performed in eight seconds.
Furthermore, loop impedance tests are accompanied by a Confidence Meter, a NEW feature present on the Megger MFT1741+ Multifunction Tester. The meter will indicate the degree of confidence in the accuracy of the loop impedance measurement. This feature is useful as loop impedance values are particularly susceptible to changes in circuit noise. The Confidence Meter is designed to improve reliability; the digital ARC indicates the analytical process, and the measurement is continually monitored and adjusted in reference to the circuit noise.
Another NEW function present on the Megger MFT1741+ Multifunction Tester is its ability to test electric vehicle charge point RCDs; it includes automatic test sequences and a 6mA DC test (requires OPTIONAL accessory) for this purpose.
Measurements are viewable via the Megger MFT1741+ Multifunction Tester’s large, clear backlit display with a digital/ analogue arc for indicating fluctuating readings and a dual digital readout that displays precise readings and test parameters in parallel. For instance, the dual digital readout will display the output voltage used for the insulation test as well as the resistance value in MΩ. It is also possible to save readings to the Megger MFT1741+ Multifunction Tester’s internal memory (capacity for 1000 measurements); these results can be downloaded via Bluetooth.
Accessing the required measurement function and range is easy using the Megger MFT1741+ Multifunction Tester’s colour coded function controls. In addition to improving the efficiency and ease of testing, these controls also reduce the possibility of selecting the incorrect function or range. This instrument does not include complicated and/or hidden measurement menus.
Furthermore, the Megger MFT1741+ Multifunction Tester features an ambidextrous design with dual TEST and LOCK buttons on either side of the unit, ensuring that it is easy to operate for both right- and left-handed users. Moreover, the Megger MFT1741+ Multifunction Tester offers an automatic test start, removing the need to press the TEST button altogether. This function is particularly useful when holding probes and/or when using the Megger MFT1741+ Multifunction Tester whilst on a ladder.
The Megger MFT1741+ Multifunction Tester has also been designed to stand independently; alternatively, it can be hung around the operator’s neck using the included neck strap. It is also equipped with internal rechargeable batteries that have a charge time of under four hours, allowing the user to maximise uptime.
The Megger MFT1741+ Multifunction Tester also features a rubber over-mould which provides additional protection in tough environments and has an IP rating of 54 ensuring that it is resistant to dust and water ingress.

Nice review mate, agree about the ramp test seems to be a lot of Sparks I know who have never used it or knew it existed. I’ve got the 1731 with rechargeable batteries but I don’t really use it to be honest, I always seem to use my Kewtech as a daily tester and have it as a back up. Cracking testers though.
its great thanks for you explanting and recommend other peoples clip
Yeah sure no problem
Nice little Demo 👍
Thank you
Good vid 👍
I have it with the ev adapter, love it. Simple to use highly recommend
I bet it’s awesome
Great video, had this tester about six months now. Im certainly not a snob…. But Megger is the best testing equipment hands down
Do you have the 1741+ or the 1741 I don’t really know the difference other than the Ev button Of which I don’t really know what he does I can only presume it automatically goes on to be type rcds
@@ElectricianTV The EV button is for the Electric Vehicle charging points.
Which unit has the fastest earth loop test out of the megger 1741+ or the fluke 1664fc ?
I’m not sure about the fluke but I know for a fact you can’t do two wire loop impedance with a fluke
Megger all the way great unit, bet you can’t work the Bluetooth part mines searches and can’t connect but megger are looking into it 👍
I remember trying to use it on the 1553 and I never really see the point of it as I always have my laptop to hand
Hi. I’m struggling with this tester. The confidence meter that it has when doing Zs skates all over the place and not getting any consistent zs readings. Have you experienced this?
I remember having the same issue and in Laymans terms, I don’t actually know the correct terminology, but basically when other people are using the system as in other households or building premises that will jump up and down with people using the power load. It’s probably only at night time you’ll get the correct results or less busy times
@@ElectricianTV Thanks for reply mate. Sometimes I’m there for about 2 minutes waiting for a zs but it can’t start really high go down low and constantly move about. Zs readings if I did it a few times never close to enough to each other and doesn’t fill me with confidence one bit!
@@alanmarriott9216 the Niceic always recommend that you test the same circuit every month and record the results maybe give that a try
Nice one mate a normal bloke doing a review not trying to be some wanna be expert 👌
Cheers mate appreciate that
Just ordered this tester and googles brought me here oioioi
I thought this was Alex Jones when I saw this lol
Absolutely no idea Alex Jones is
Nice demo will. Enjoyed it mate.
Nice one cheers mark little bit different from the TIS
@@ElectricianTV yeah we have the megger aswell. Tbh used megger for decades always got on with them. Nice testers just wish they had a longer warranty.
@@electrician247 Have you had issues with them I’ve got four of them and I’ve never had an issue with one of them touchwood obviously
@@ElectricianTV Only with an older 1730. Neil has had some issues with his though mate
