Megger XTL R2 Wander Lead
- Professional Continuity Testing Made Simple
Improve the speed, accuracy and confidence of your continuity testing with the Megger XTL R2 Wander Lead. Designed specifically for electricians carrying out R2 and bonding continuity tests on dead systems, this professional solution removes unnecessary complexity and delivers clear, reliable results every time.
Built for real-world electrical work, the Megger wander lead allows you to carry out direct R2 measurements over long distances without relying on crossover connections. The result is faster testing, fewer errors and greater confidence when verifying circuit integrity.
Fast, Accurate R2 Testing
The Megger R2 wander lead is engineered to simplify continuity testing by enabling direct access to CPC points. When systems are powered down, equipotential bonding can be temporarily disconnected to remove parallel paths, allowing accurate R2 readings to be taken quickly and efficiently.
By removing the need for traditional R1 + R2 crossover testing, the Megger wander lead helps reduce setup time and minimises the risk of misleading results, particularly during inspection, testing and certification.
Compact, Robust and Easy to Use
Available in both Megger 30m wander lead and Megger 50m wander lead options, the XTL R2 is suitable for domestic, commercial and industrial installations. The 30 metre version is commonly referred to as the Megger XTL30, while the 50 metre option is known as the Megger XTL50, giving electricians clear choices based on working distance.
Its compact drum design features a low-friction mechanism that allows the cable to unwind smoothly without tangling. A built-in cable tensioning brush ensures quick, controlled rewinding at the end of each job. Lightweight and easy to carry, the Megger wander lead is ideal for electricians who need a reliable solution that won’t slow them down on site.
Ideal for Lighting Circuits and Fault Finding
The Megger XTL R2 is particularly effective for testing lighting circuits, including complex multi-light arrays. It allows quick verification of switches, fittings and CPC continuity, even where access points are spread across large areas.
For fault finding, the Megger R2 wander lead is invaluable when tracing open circuits or hidden loop breaks in both new and existing installations, helping you locate issues faster and reduce unnecessary disruption. Both the Megger XTL30 and Megger XTL50 are trusted solutions for this type of diagnostic work.
Safe, Compliant and Ready to Use
Manufactured by Megger, the XTL R2 is rated to BS EN61010 CAT III 600 V, providing reassurance when working in professional electrical testing environments.
Each Megger wander lead is supplied with a 1.5m interconnection lead and crocodile clip, allowing quick setup straight out of the box whether you choose the Megger XTL30 or the extended Megger XTL50.
