Megger PAT320 Portable Appliance Tester 1000-740

Overview:

An easily portable desktop appliance tester for testing the safety of portable electrical equipment to meet health and safety regulations. The PAT300 series are fully featured testers with dedicated test buttons for direct access to tests. They are designed for customers who do not require the complexity of a fully configurable database of clients and results within the tester but do need a complete range of functions to allow automatic or manual testing of the widest range of electrical assets. There are two products in the range - the PAT320 and the PAT350. The PAT350 is identical to the PAT320, with the addition of flash-test capability for use in environments such as manufacturing, production or tool-hire shops. Simple push-button operation make the PAT300s fast and intuitive in use. All regulatory test requirements are supported, including Class I and Class II, IEC power leads, extension leads and full tests for portable RCDs. An automatic mode is available for Class I and Class II testing. In automatic mode, the tests proceed sequentially through bond, insulation and operation, indicating a pass or fail at each test. If a fail occurs, testing is stopped. When manual testing, each test is preceded by a selection screen where the test parameters are selected, such as bond test current, insulation test voltage or leakage test type. These diagnostic buttons provide direct access to any test individually, allowing single tests to be performed following repair or a suspect result. Accessories supplied with all models include a combined earth-bond and insulation test lead, an adaptor for testing extension leads, and a carry-case convenient product and lead storage.

Ideal Applications:

There is a legal requirement for any landlord, employer or owner of a place of work or public place, to ensure that all electrical equipment accessible by tenants, employees or the public is maintained in a safe condition, and an acceptable method of ensuring this is by routine electrical testing. This can be performed by electrical contractors, specialist PAT testing organisations, maintenance departments, or facilities management companies. The PAT300 range is suitable for performing portable appliance testing in locations such as hotels, public houses, schools, colleges, nurseries, shops, offices, theatres, banks, restaurants, cafés, sports and leisure facilities, cinemas, factories and hair salons etc. The PAT350 is suitable for use in tool-hire shops where equipment is routinely tested prior to hire.
