Title: speaking of Brymen - what about voltage tester? Any experience?
Post by: evava on July 12, 2018, 09:30:26 am

Brymen BT-75EU

manual: https://static.eleshop.nl/mage/media/downloads/BT-70EU_manual.pdf (https://static.eleshop.nl/mage/media/downloads/BT-70EU_manual.pdf)

in comparison with Fluke T150, Brymen BT-75EU can also measure capacitors, really useful tester I think.

I wonder if someone already tested it?

I have BT-75EU.

It is made of good materials, feels really solid and high quality.
Display fonts are a bit weird, but quite visible anyways. Back light is very good, but a bit short.
Common ground probe is detachable, cable used is high quality silicon, but a bit thin and very flexible. I expected a bit thicker cable. Don't know if it is going to be a problem, so far so good.

It has vibration alert when probing high voltage, built in LED lamp, non contact voltage detection...
I checked voltage (AC and DC) and resistance accuracy and it seems to be well in spec.

All in all, like other Brymen stuff, full of functions, good quality and fantastic value for money. If I have a suggestion, a thicker, more rugged black (ground) probe cable would be more appropriate.

If you have a more specific question, ask.

Regards,

Sinisa

Thank you very much.

Found datasheet also:

I think I will buy it.
So far I use UT18C, which is fine and cheap, but little bit slow IMHO. And sometimes I have to use multimeter for resistance or capacity, which is uncomfortable.
