Default Re: lighting chain testing

Hiya preacher man, I can answer 3 of your questions

"What is hi pot testing" I think you mean Pat testing ? portable appliance testing , Testing carried out as a routine to determine whether the equipment is in satisfactory condition.( if not I dunno wat pot testing is)

"what is flash testing"
Flash testing is something used in Pat testing, basically to see what the strength of the Flex(cable is) When manufactoring new products the cable NEED to be flashed tested for its suitablibilty and strength. But what manufacters do is create a cable which will be able to withstand a flash test, as its flash tested it will degrade the cable, so another flash test would damage it completely. They dont use flash testing as much or try and avoid it.

"Ian said 500 vac and john said no its 3570 vac." 500V ac, 500 Volts Alternating current, Uk use A.C, Places like america use D.C

I think this is right, Please Pat tester if you are there please correct me if I am wrong.

Regards Luke
