In keeping with the new IET Code of Practice, the latest hand-held appliance tester from Seaward Electronic, the PrimeTest 350, is equipped with an RCD test, a 250V insulation resistance test and an alternative leakage test. The latter provides an indication of protective conductor current or touch current without applying mains power to the appliance under test and can be used where transient suppressors or other components prevent an insulation test being carried out.
This new tester incorporates all Class I and Class II required electrical safety tests in a compact user-friendly design. In addition, Bluetooth technology provides wireless connection of bar code scanners, label printers and other accessories, allowing cable-free testing without the cumbersome and constant plugging and unplugging of leads and cords.
An in-situ fast re-charging port enables the batteries to be charged in four hours without the need to remove them.
