Re: Judd, I need your help
The standard tester for hand-held appliances as you say, can't be used for testing fixed appliances. I usually use a `Megger` type device that generates a 250-500V test voltage. I test from the fused spur (with the power off of course).Re: Judd, I need your help
You can put exemptions in - some fixed appliances don't need to be tested every 12 months (unless the person requesting the work/insurance company insists on it)Re: Judd, I need your help
Your 'bog standard pat tester' will only be able to test electrical equipment that have a mains plug on them. It will not be capable of testing 'fixed wired' appliances.
