content: Since you chose the 5mm clamp, do you already have cables picked out for using with these? Which ones?I looked around and found these two:-Belden 83322E-0091000-Belden 83351E-0091000The problem is that they are difficult to come by in short lengths, the smallest length you can buy from major distributors is 100 foot reels. I found on some forum thatAnixtersells shorter lengths of specialized cables like these, so I sent them an invoice for 5 feet of each, let's see what price they offer.I might be interested in two of these sets, provided I figure out which cable I could use with them.

content: Quote from: Dave on May 19, 2018, 08:12:34 pmNo, I don't have any cables right now. The 5mm clamp was only a guess of mine.What do you suggest as a diameter for the clamp? 4mm?I think, the price should be the same.

content: I have, finally, had a quotation from Fischer UK; see attached image. After the "right" person replied to my request, it took 7 days to issue the quotation.The essence of the quotation is:each plug+clamp costs £40.83 including 20% tax (currently EUR46) - compared with Andreas' quotation of EUR41.47orders less than GBP250 have post and packing of £18 including 20% taxhence the total cost of one connector would be £58.83 (EUR67.12)seven or more connectors are required to eliminate the £18 post and packing charge; we have that volumeConclusion: excluding post and packing from Germany to UK, it is cheaper for me if Andreas buys them (1off £59 vs £37, or 2off £100 vs £73).Andreas, do you have aquick estimatefor packing and shipping (plus your time) to the UK? (For comparison, shipping alone UK to Germany looks like £6-£10, or EUR7-EUR15).I assume that there would be neither import duty nor VAT since the UK is (still) in the EU. If anybody knows better than me, please let us know!

content: Hello tggzzz,Quote from: tggzzz on May 21, 2018, 10:52:15 amThe cheapest option I've found is sending the plugs with a DIN A-5 jiffy bag via German Post . This will cost EUR 3,70 to Great Britain.Source:https://www.portokalkulator.de/portokalkulator/stdIf I'm sending them to countries in the EU, there will be no import duties nor any addational VAT. AFAIK.Dave is using Welectron in Germany to send all the 121GW meters to the EU countries, which is a very similiar case, imho.And GB is still a member in the EU.

content: Quoteremember xlrs are only rated for 50V,even though the same thing had a 250v rating until the elf n' stazi brigade decided on a 50v limit for certain connectors that allowed tool less disconnection.

content: The DVM is able to measure more than 250V, sound like a crap choice IMO, along with anything from landfillexpress, buy cheap buy twice.....p.larner has been posting far too many different threads about this.David
