Having a few thoughts on what should and shouldn't come under PAT testing under the COP 4th Edition.
I have no doubt wall heaters screwed to the wall and connected via a flex and FCU should be PAT tested, along with hand dryers, but does the same apply to Handwash units and 5-10litre water...

Reply with the make and perhaps a link or something to where to get it, and I'll compile a list and make a poll next week so we can see what's the most used.
Hi All,
I went for a interview for a apprenticeship the other day at a firm that manufacturer and install packing machines and i started realizing that i would much prefer getting into that side of the business then being a traditional sparky. They had great perks like you will get the...
got given a 230V-110V site transformer today. probably reasonably old and been sitting in a garage for a while. so thought it'd be an idea to run some tests on it before chucking it into service?
i'm thinking that after an inspection for condition and obvious damage (even inside the case), i...
