PAT tests on a PC

[Tonkatoy27]

From memory I think it's a Seaward primetest 300 or 350, intresting if that is the case. Even if they do it didn't stop that veg machine from being toast. Electrolux design said it would cope no problem, Lux tech said do not under any circumstance megger it ith any voltage. If they can't agree what chance did we have!

I have a Kewtech KT71 and the way I am reading it that this tester shorts L-N together before a IR is this correct as I would not want to make a mistake

'Tis my understanding. I'm not aware of an instrument (pat) which differs.


BTW, was in your neck of the woods earlier today - busy, busy, busy. Do you know why the road around Holyrood park was shut off, kinda wasted my day out a bit.

Hmmm, thats interesting. I just presumes PAT testers didn't do that because of all the issues with 'will i or won't I blow up a pc on an insulation test' conversations. According to my ELECSA assessor if we do insulation resistance tests on installations by connecting L to N then it is impossible to damage anything. Thats obviously rubbish then.......

Because Hoyrood Park is a major thorough fare during the week any work needing done on it or around it is done at the weekend I was down Leith today looking at a job so I went via the High Street as I know to stay away from HP because of works or weekend drivers
