Hi guys, just going through COP as looking at doing some pat.
Just wondered if you could clarify a few bits regarding testing prcodure.
As far as i understand:
Earth continuity (if class 1)
on pg 73 and 74 it describes a hard continuity and soft continuity test, however i cant determine how you would choose which test to do on which equipment???
Insulation Resistance
Test at 500v, unless equipment has sensitive parts (IT etc) then either:
Protective conductor/touch current measurement OR
Alternative leakage current test OR
test at 250V
Again which one of these substitute tests would you choose for specific equipment???
Also as looking at test equipment want to know what i will require form my test meter before buying.
I will mainly be testing low volume domestic/office equipment, nothing industrial.
Many thanks
