Megger’s MFT1553 is three times a winner!
Story
Megger’s latest MFT1553 multifunction tester, which brings Bluetooth wireless connectivity to one of the UK’s most popular and successful ranges of test instruments for electrical contractors, has achieved the outstanding accolade of winning all three major industry awards for excellence and technical innovation in a period of just eight weeks.
Megger collected the first award for its groundbreaking MFT1553 from the Association of Electrical Contractors of Ireland, where it was recognised as the AECI Product of the Year. This was swiftly followed by success at the Electrical Industry Awards held in London, where the MFT1553 was the winner in the Test and Measurement category.
Finally, in the last major awards event of the year, held under the auspices of SELECT, Scotland’s trade association for the electrical, electronics and communication systems industries, the MFT1553 was again successful in winning the Best New Product category.
In each of the three awards, the judges were impressed by the Bluetooth capabilities of the MFT1553 multi-function tester, which make it fast and easy to transmit test results directly in to an electrical test certificate on a PC or held-held devices such as a PDA or even a smart-mobile phone without the need for inconvenient wired connections.
Safety was held to be another important benefit as, with no electrical connection between the instrument and the computer or mobile device, complete isolation is guaranteed. In addition, the judges at the Electrical Industry Award commented that they believed the MFT1553 to be by far the most innovative product in its category.
“We’re absolutely delighted to have won these three awards,” said Megger’s Julian Grant. “This is an unprecedented achievement that not only rewards all of the hard work that the Megger team has put into developing the MFT range, but also confirms the success of our policy of listening to our customers and producing products that genuinely meet their needs.”
“Our MFT range has achieved outstanding sales success ever since it was launched three years ago,” he continued. “We believe – and the award judges clearly agree – that the addition of Bluetooth support will ensure that it continues to go from strength to strength.”
