Accessories for Multifunction Testers

Accessories for multifunction testers (MFTs) are additional tools and equipment that complement the functionality of the tester and assist electricians and electrical inspectors in performing a wide range of electrical tests in accordance with BS 7671 and other standards. These accessories enhance convenience, safety, and the overall testing process. Here are some common accessories for MFTs:

Test Leads: High-quality test leads with appropriate connectors are essential for connecting the MFT to the electrical installation. Test leads come in various lengths and are available in sets that include various test probes and clips for different testing scenarios.
Test Probes: Test probes, also known as test tips or test pins, are attached to the test leads and are used for making electrical connections to terminals, conductors, and components during testing.
Crocodile Clips: Crocodile clips are spring-loaded clips that can be attached to test probes or test leads. They are useful for securely connecting to exposed conductors and terminals.
Fused Test Leads: Fused test leads have built-in fuses to provide protection in the event of a fault or overcurrent during testing. They are commonly used for loop impedance and RCD testing.
Earth Spike Kit: Earth spike kits are used for performing earth electrode resistance tests. They include earth spikes and connecting leads to create an electrical connection to the ground.
Socket Adaptors: Socket adaptors are used to test socket outlets and are compatible with various plug types. They ensure a safe and secure connection to the socket under test.
Phase Sequence Adaptors: These adaptors help determine the correct phase sequence in three-phase electrical systems, ensuring motors and equipment operate in the correct direction.
Test Blocks: Test blocks provide a safe and secure connection point for testing conductors and circuits. They are particularly useful when making multiple test connections during an inspection.
Carrying Cases and Bags: A durable carrying case or bag helps protect the MFT and accessories during transportation and storage. Some cases are designed to hold the tester, test leads, and other accessories securely.
Battery Chargers: If the MFT is battery-powered, having a spare battery and charger ensures that the tester remains operational during extended testing sessions.
Calibration and Verification Equipment: Accessories for calibrating and verifying the accuracy of the MFT, such as calibration standards and check boxes, are essential to maintain the instrument’s precision.
Data Transfer Cables: Data transfer cables and adapters enable the MFT to connect to a computer or mobile device for downloading test data and generating reports.
Label Printers: Label printers allow users to create and print labels for circuits, components, and equipment, ensuring clear identification of electrical systems.
Safety Gear: Safety equipment such as personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, safety glasses, and hearing protection, should always be used during testing.
Magnetic Hanging Straps: Magnetic straps or hooks can be attached to the MFT, allowing it to be securely mounted on metal surfaces, such as distribution boards, for hands-free testing.

Choosing the right accessories for your MFT depends on the specific tests you need to perform and the requirements of your electrical installations. Properly maintained and calibrated accessories ensure accurate and reliable testing, helping to ensure electrical safety and compliance with relevant standards like BS 7671.
