Loop and RCD Testing Equipment 

Quickly verify disconnection times, fault loop impedance, and RCD operation with Megger’s trusted testers. Built for reliability, speed, and accuracy, our loop and RCD instruments support safe installations and smooth certification workflows every time.

Megger’s loop and RCD testers are built to help electricians verify disconnection times, earth fault paths, and system safety with confidence. Designed for speed, accuracy, and compliance, our instruments cover a wide range of test scenarios—from low current no-trip loop tests to type A, AC, and B RCD testing.  

Clear displays, rugged designs, and simple interfaces ensure easy operation in domestic, commercial, and industrial settings. Whether you’re installing new circuits or carrying out routine maintenance, Megger tools help you stay efficient, minimise retests, and deliver reliable, regulation-compliant results every time.

Frequently asked questions

A loop tester checks earth loop impedance to verify fault current paths and ensure protective devices will operate correctly. An RCD tester simulates a leakage fault to confirm that the residual current device trips within the correct parameters. For greater efficiency, combination instruments like the LRCD200 series integrate both tests—reducing the need to carry multiple devices and saving time on site.

Non-trip loop testing uses a low test current to calculate earth loop impedance without triggering the RCD. This is crucial when working on live circuits in residential, commercial, or healthcare settings where shutting off power is disruptive. Megger’s non-trip testers deliver safe, accurate results in seconds—helping you stay compliant while keeping critical systems online. 

Yes. Many Megger models, including the LT300 and LRCD220, support loop and RCD testing on both single- and three-phase systems. These testers adapt to a wide range of voltages and frequency conditions, making them ideal for commercial buildings, industrial sites, and large-scale distribution boards. Always check the model spec for compatibility.

Megger loop and RCD testers are built to meet CAT III and CAT IV safety ratings, ensuring protection for the user in demanding test environments. They feature robust, IP-rated casings that resist dust, moisture, and mechanical shock—so you can work confidently in wet conditions, cramped panels, or exposed outdoor sites.
