    How many pat tests in a day

    No chance of that amount. I would be knocking my pan in to do 80 in an 8 hour shift however that included commercial fixed and 3 phase appliances then powering them up to run/ load test. I wouldn't do 400 in a week but for me that wasn't where the earnings were.

    2 week old fryer fail

    What reading are you getting? Does it improve running it for a few minutes? What does the earth leakage test show? Load?

    BS7671 524.1, C2 or C3

    I would suggest the appliance is left to the individual testing the fixed appliances during the PAT regime.

    3 Phase testing

    Since your asking how to do the test perhaps have a word with your boss, if your in a factory you will need to safely isolate and lock-off for the 3ph equipment not fitted with a plug arrangement. May be an idea to inform the factory sparks that your on-site and what you intend testing. Might...

    Fixed wired testing in situ

    I am aware of that, is there a reason you can't isolate and test?

    Fixed wired testing in situ

    How do you normally conduct a class 1 fixed appliance test? I'd be looking at 25A EB and 500V IR (assuming safe to do so) and a run test to ensure element load is normal.

    Hi, I'm new here, and also a new PA tester :)

    If the appliances are hard wired then I strongly suggest you don't get involved with the testing/ inspection as a greater degree of skill and knowledge is required due to the specific risks likely to be encountered. I suggest becoming acquainted with PUWER, this places a duty on employers to...

    Hi, I'm new here, and also a new PA tester :)

    Try and get a downloadable tester supplied,it will save writing out reams of labels an documentation by hand. I have a Megger PAT4 DV3, old and heavy but works well, current instrument is an Apollo 500, has some shortcomings but okish.
