The new MFT1552 multifunction installation tester from Megger is now playing a key role in the maintenance of the electrical systems aboard SS Shieldhall, the UK’s largest working steamship. Although primarily designed for use on ac electrical installations in domestic and commercial properties, this versatile test set is also proving its worth for work on the vessel’s extensive dc systems.
