Hi,
I was unfortunate to be selected by my company to carry out pat testing, and recently attended a pat testing course.
my company has a seaward primetest 50, and today was my first exciting pat job.
in about an hour and a bit managed to test around 30 items, desk fans, kettles, lamps etc. I left all of the IT
equipment as I'm not 100% sure how to go about it without causing any damage. I have tested several of the IEC leads of computers, but not the actual computers themselves.
from reading of the iet code of practise book my understanding is that I can only carry out an earth continuity test using my particular pat tester, is this correct? If I had a different tester then I could carry out a reduced 250v dc insulation resistance test or a soft test.
cheers
