Hi all. First of all, I'm not an electrician, although I am confident in doing small jobs (socket changes, light changes etc.) however I am about to start a course (being sent on one, city & guilds).
My friend (spark, currently on holiday so I can't ask him) has given me his HPAT600 and after showing me how to use it, I got on quit well with it, however on some appliances, especaily class 2 it fails on the fuse but passes on insulation. One thing he told me I might need to do is skip the fuse test and do visual and insulation only.
Obviously I will learn all this during the course but I wanted to ask how I can tell if I will have to skip the fuse test and do visual and insulation only vs do all 3?
I also don't plan on doing any load testing yet, until after said course.
Any advice would be welcomed, and thank you!
