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.
