    Issuing minor works certificate

    Hello all, I'm a mere PAT tester and access this forum alot as I learn so much from it. I wanted to ask about like-for-like socket changes and issuing MWCs.

    Polarity test failure on SPD extension leads

    Fluke 6500-2 Surge Extension test

    Hello all, I am new to PAT testing and have a Fluke 6500-2. I am having an issue whereby I cannot seem to drop the voltage down to 250V when testing a surge protected extension lead. I have read in a couple of places that without a means of lowering it from 500V simply hit the IEC test button...
