Types of tests Simply
PAT can perform
Earth continuity & bond test
Earth continuity and bond testing are both used to confirm the existence
and integrity of the appliance earth conductor.
Insulation test
This is used to confirm the integrity of the appliances insulation.
We can perform both a standard 500v test and now also a 250v test
to enable testing of items like anti-surge extension leads which
would otherwise fail due to their design.
Earth Leakage test
This test can check for any current flowing to earth and to ensure
any leakage current is within safe limits.
Load/operation test
Where possible we will carry out an operation test to ensure the
tested item is working correctly!
RCD test
We are able to fully test 30MA portable RCD devices, as well as
a basic manual check of the test button we will fully check that
the RCD devices are tripping within its stated time limit.
Lead test
Earth bond, insulation, live & neutral Continuity and Polarity.
Microwave oven leakage
Using a specialist microwave leakage monitor. we will test for
any excessive radiation leakage. We will also check the operation
of the door interlocks. |

There will be occasions where equipment cannot be
disconnected from the power supply i.e. servers, and this will comply
with the IEE regulations by having a formal visual inspection only.
Passed items will be clearly labelled passed with a unique ID number.
Any items that fail the test, that we are unable to repair will
labelled with a red fail label and disconnected from the supply
where possible and the nominated contact notified.
