At
ElectrAtest our test engineers use the Megger PAT 4DV/3
tester for all Portable Appliance Testing. We have used
this tester since 1998 and have tested several million
appliances with it.
Megger have modified the tester specifically for us with
our own version of firmware. These changes were made so
our engineers can record more technical information in
the PAT4Dv whilst on site. These changes increase the
speed and accuracy at which we can test and obviates the
need for laptops, pda's or pen and paper to record extra
information whilst on site. The
PAT4Dv is a comprehensive, portable electrical appliance
tester with the ability to test Class1 and Class II
equipment. The tester is dual voltage so it can test
110 Volt and 230 Volt appliances. It also designed to
safely test IT equipment.
The
units can perform fundamental safety tests on Class
1 (earthed) and Class II (double insulated) appliances.
