Megger MFT-X0 Multifunction Tester
The Megger MFT-X0 Multifunction Tester is a versatile electrical installation tester designed for work on low voltage systems. It helps electricians carry out installation checks, routine testing and fault finding across domestic, commercial and industrial sites. With a wide range of test functions in one instrument, it supports both initial checks and ongoing maintenance. Its user-upgradeable operating system also allows users to install new firmware.
Accurate loop testing forms a key part of the Megger MFT-X0 Multifunction Tester. Its True Loop™ technology supports both 2-wire and 3-wire non-trip loop tests, while the patented Confidence Meter™ helps users track test progress and identify the effect of circuit noise. The instrument also offers stabilised insulation test voltage, custom RCD test sequences and voltage, continuity and resistance checks. These functions help users complete a wide range of electrical tests with one device.
For daily site work, the Megger MFT-X0 Multifunction Tester combines a 480 x 272 colour TFT display with a clear rotary dial and on-screen guidance. Users can view readings, select test functions and follow graphical connection instructions, even in difficult lighting conditions. Bluetooth® connectivity allows test results to be transferred to compatible Android and iOS devices running Megger CertSuite Installation software. A rugged IP54 housing, flexible battery options and weather-proof carry case make the tester practical for use across different work sites.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Megger MFT-X0 Multifunction Tester used for?
The Megger MFT-X0 Multifunction Tester is designed for testing, inspecting and maintaining low voltage electrical installations. It supports voltage measurement, continuity testing, insulation resistance testing, loop impedance measurement and RCD testing. It is suitable for domestic, commercial and industrial electrical installations, including EV charge points and domestic solar PV systems.
Does the Megger MFT-X0 support non-trip loop testing?
Yes. The Megger MFT-X0 supports both 2-wire and 3-wire non-trip loop impedance testing. Its True Loop™ technology and patented Confidence Meter™ help provide stable, repeatable readings, even where electrical noise is present. Three-wire non-trip testing is designed for circuits protected by RCDs rated at 30 mA or greater.
What is the Megger Confidence Meter™?
The patented Confidence Meter™ displays the progress of loop impedance measurements and indicates the presence of electrical noise on the circuit. It helps reduce the effect of unwanted readings and supports consistent test results. On quiet circuits, non-trip loop tests typically take around seven seconds.
Can the Megger MFT-X0 test different types of RCD?
Yes. The Megger MFT-X0 supports Type AC, A, B, AC(S), A(S) and B(S) RCD testing. Users can select individual tests or create custom automatic test sequences, including ramp testing. This flexibility helps simplify RCD inspection and testing.
What insulation test voltages does the Megger MFT-X0 offer?
The Megger MFT-X0 provides insulation test voltages from 50 V DC to 1000 V DC, including variable settings from 50 V to 999 V. Its stabilised output voltage is controlled to -0% to +2% +2 V at rated load or less. This provides accurate test voltage control and helps reduce the risk of over-voltage damage to sensitive components.
Can the Megger MFT-X0 transfer test results to a mobile device?
Yes. The Megger MFT-X0 uses Bluetooth® Low Energy to transfer test results to compatible Android and iOS devices running Megger CertSuite Installation software. Results can be linked to circuit information and synchronised with the cloud-based application. CertSuite Installation also supports electrical certification, reporting and remote access for authorised users.
Does the Megger MFT-X0 have an upgradeable operating system?
Yes. The Megger MFT-X0 features a user-upgradeable operating system. Firmware updates can be installed by downloading the latest .BIN file from Megger onto a suitable microSD card. Once the card is inserted into the instrument, pressing TEST starts the automatic update process.
What type of batteries does the Megger MFT-X0 use?
The Megger MFT-X0 is supplied with an AA alkaline battery adaptor and eight LR6 (AA) alkaline batteries. An optional 7.2 V DC, 4400 mAh rechargeable Li-ion battery pack is also available. The rechargeable pack provides more than 15 hours of operation based on typical daily testing, with a charging time of approximately 2.5 to 3 hours.
Is the Megger MFT-X0 suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The Megger MFT-X0 has an IP54-rated housing that protects against dust ingress and water splashes, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor use. It operates in temperatures from -10°C to +55°C and is supplied with a rugged, weather-proof carry case for protection and storage.
What safety rating does the Megger MFT-X0 have?
The Megger MFT-X0 has a CAT III 600 V / CAT IV 300 V safety rating, valid at altitudes up to 2000 metres. It also includes active live voltage protection to 600 V between test terminals and live earth detection. If the PE terminal is live when a loop or RCD test range is selected, the instrument indicates the condition and inhibits the test.
What is included with the Megger MFT-X0 Multifunction Tester?
The Megger MFT-X0 is supplied with an AA alkaline battery adaptor, eight LR6 (AA) alkaline batteries, a complete set of test leads and a rugged, weather-proof carry case. A rechargeable Li-ion battery pack is available as an optional accessory.
