does exactly to same ive tried 2 different leads just incaseWhat happens if you don't connect the wander lead.
Do you mean bulb with actual filament (incandescent) ? No cause we don't sell them. I'm not sure if they are actually banned now in UKHave you tried it with a tungsten lamp.
Advice if you havn't already got one , get o copy of the CoP for ISITEE. " In Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment"Hi all i'm after some advice please,
I was trained as a pat tester for my company a few years back (10 years)to test ex display lamps ect ect, we did it for a few years but due to time it fell by the wayside.
so our company has invested in a new pat testing machine to test lamps/fridges/ect the machine is a megger pat 150R,
now when i used to test lamps it was always with incandescent bulbs(ones with filaments) now everything is energy or led.
am i right in saying our pat tester with fail these as there is no continuity ,
just all the lamps i am testing with energy or led bulbs are failing.
can somebody point me in the right direction i did question our company whether im still covered for pat testing as i did my course so long ago they said there is no legal requirement to do so im based in the UK.
Thanks in advance
Stu
That isn't going to resolve the situation.Advice if you havn't already got one , get o copy of the CoP for ISITEE. " In Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment"
Yeah standard screw in fittingsYes that is what I mean. Are these just standard lamp holders if so is it possible to short across the terminals.
The lightmate style adapters work good for thatNot sure how the tester will see it if the terminals of the lamp holder bridged out but you could try it as this will create a closed circuit.
