Visual Inspection
This is our first view of any potential hazards.
Before any electronic testing, we take a good look at the overall condition regarding damaged cables, casings and plugs.
Earth Continuity Test (for Class 1 appliances)
The earth continuity test is paramount for any appliances relying on earth connection.
This assessment ensures that any unattended fault current will have a clear path to the ground reducing the risk of electric shock.
We use our PAT testing equipment to ensure a good connection between the plug’s earth pin and the appliances’ metal parts.
Insulation Resistance Test
This test checks the quality of insulation between the live components and the earth parts of the appliance, applying a high voltage, we are then able to determine if the insulation is up to standard.
Substitute Leaking Test
This alternative test is for equipment that may be at risk from the high voltage applied during the insulation resistance test.
Microwave Oven Test
In addition to the above testing, ovens are tested for microwave leakage.
Extension Lead Test
All extension leads are tested for resistance, insulation, L-N short and polarity.
