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.
