Calibrating voltage indicators

[golfpaul]

Im getting everything setup for my part p assessment and am wondering if i need to get the voltage indicator calibrated, its the dilog combivolt 2.

Ta.

i`v got...oh about 5 proving units knockin about...
several campbell york`s...a couple of seawards and a martindale..

i`v got several AVIs...

A Martindale phase rotation tester and a Martindale voltage indicator...

loads of stuff like that...lockout gear n all...

Even calibrated that , too......:wink_smile:

like i says....the incomer (incoming side) will be enough...

dont forget to re-prove the instrument AFTER you have tested for dead...if he asks you to show him a safe isolation....

remember about how to carry out polarity live as well....should he want to see you do this..

its unlikely though that he will ask for anything more than tea n biscuits, a loop test (Ze or Zs)..and maybe your 1/2, 1 & 5...

if he asks you to carry out an RCD test...then dont forget to press the test button for the manual test..this is AFTER you have done the 1/2, 1 & 5 both half cycles...

is your coat calibrated? must have sufficient thermal insulation for going out in the cold.

So the answer to your question is NO it just needs to work, I suppose the clue is in the description "voltage indicator"

You only really need to worry about 1 thing regarding the asessment " will the cheque bounce "

I allways check my voltage indicator on a daily basis.. Check on a known dead supply.. Doesn't night up.. It works simples..
