Electrical testing of portable equipment will involve the following:
Readings should show less than 0.1+R Ohms (where R is the resistance of the lead)
Tested at a current of 1.5 times the rating of the fuse and no greater than 25A for a period of between 5 and 20 seconds or with a short-circuit test current within the range 20mA to 200mA.
The applied test voltage should be approximately 500 Vdc
Flash Test: No flashover or breakdown shall occur
Operation/Load test: Compare reading with stated details on nameplate
Earth leakage test:
We do free repairs, for example; if you have a damaged or defective plug or fuse we will replace it, free of charge; if the cable is cut we’ll cut it back to a safe location and re-attach the plug. We don’t charge to do this.
Including the following:
✓ Replacement of faulty or damaged mains plug (BS1363)
✓ Free repairs to the existing cable and plug refitted/new supplied
✓ Replacement of damaged or incorrectly rated fuses
✓ Re-wiring of incorrect connections in the mains plug
