Introduction

The Megger TPT420 voltage tester provides 
electricians and electrical engineers with voltage 
indication and has additional functions / features 
that makes the instrument more versatile.
The TPT420 features both LCD and LED displays 
that provide AC and DC voltage measurement 
from 12 to 1000 V AC and 1500 V DC and in 
addition, a continuity function ranging from 0 to 
500 k

W

. Continuity and voltage measurements 

are accompanied by an acoustic sounder.
A bright LED torch feature allows safe working in 
poorly lit environments.
When conducting a test between phase and 
earth on a circuit protected by an RCD, RCBO 
and Safety Breaker, the TPT420 will not trip  
these devices.
The phase rotation indication function is 
simplified which avoids the crossing of the test 
probes adopted by some 2 pole testers.
With safety in mind, the TPT420 is CAT IV 1000 V 
with an IP64 rated housing that provides an easy 
and comfortable grip. GS38 shrouds are provided 
as standard.
The unit has a feature that will warn the operator 
of dangerous test voltages even when the 
batteries have become exhausted.
Please note: To comply with GS38 (minimum 
exposed tip) the metal caps on each prod must 
be unscrewed and replaced with the supplied 
plastic tip shrouds.
