New PAT adaptor

Seaward has introduced a specialist new adaptor to extend the range of electrical safety tests that can be carried out on 3-phase equipment. In many cases this type of equipment is fitted with electronic control circuitry which makes insulation testing inappropriate. In such cases the insulation should be assessed by measurement of the protective conductor current.

The new Seaward TPA test adaptor makes this possible and allows specialist factory, industrial and workshop equipment to be included as part of in-service inspection and testing protocols as required by the IEE Code of Practice.

The unit is available with 16A or IEC 60309/BS4343 compatible plugs and sockets allowing it to be connected in-line with the 3- phase supply to measure the current flowing in the protective conductor.
