    Issuing minor works certificate

    Hello all, I'm a mere PAT tester and access this forum alot as I learn so much from it. I wanted to ask about like-for-like socket changes and issuing MWCs. I test fixed appliances also so I understand the correct isolation procedure. I often find damaged sockets and fused spurs and I'd like to...

    Polarity test failure on SPD extension leads

    Thanks Lucien. I set up a new autotest code to include earth bond and a 250v insulation test, but some SPD leads test out fine whilst others are still an issue. No particular brand or anything. It's very odd.

    Polarity test failure on SPD extension leads

    Fluke 6500-2 Surge Extension test

    Hello all, I am new to PAT testing and have a Fluke 6500-2. I am having an issue whereby I cannot seem to drop the voltage down to 250V when testing a surge protected extension lead. I have read in a couple of places that without a means of lowering it from 500V simply hit the IEC test button...
