I have a friend who is in a bit of a panic to get 3 items of equipment PAT tested. The last time I did any PAT testing was at least a million years ago, with a nice machine that did it all for me.
Now I don't have a PAT testing machine so I thought I'd do a thorough visual inspection, then an IR test, and earth continuity from plug to outer casing of the equipment (if it's class 1) with my trusty Megger MFT. Are there any other tests I should be doing?
The stupidity of it is that all the equipment is brand new, but the place she wants to take it won't budge on the "it must be PAT tested" line.
Many thanks,
Ali
