HI Stules

Have a look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jKLnfsneBs

It's how to test or not to test ( depends on your point of view ) a low voltage mains to USB power supply using a Metrel delta Pat unit

These people distribute Metrel devices in Australia and although the plug standards are different the same electrical principles apply with regard to keeping equipment users safe.

I'm a newbie with regards to performing pat tests but would offer you this advice Firstly do understand how your pat tester works and the way it gathers the data to produce the test results... You will also need to have an idea of what's under the bonnet so to speak of the class of equipment that is being subjected to a test.

Part of the IET testing ethos is that testers should know their own limitations and capabilities Qualifications obviously do help but passing a driving test does not necessarily make you a good driver. For example there are plenty of incorrect test procedures being carried out by established testers on IT equipment and it's mainly due to ignorance and poor understanding of their own test equipment. I hope you manage to find the data you need in order to accomplish the task that you have been given good luck !
