PAT400 SERIES
Portable Appliance Testers
PAT400 series
Portable appliance testers
DESCRIPTION
The PAT400 series from Megger is a new generation of down-
loading portable appliance testers, fully testing portable
electrical equipment to the latest standards. There are 2
products in the range; the PAT410 providing a low-profile
solution, plus a database capacity for up to 10,000 test
results. The PAT450 provides the same extensive memory
and downloading capability, and has the added features of
10 A and 25 A earth bond testing and 1.5 kV and 3 kV flash
testing, ideal for tool hire outlets and service workshops
where flash testing is routine. All products in the range have
a high duty-cycle, with the design tailored to fast testing, easy
operation, and all-day use. The PAT400s feature a unique
fast-re-start, so that when moving the tester from one room
to another, it re-starts instantly from the same menu where
it was unplugged. This is a significant timesaver, so allowing
more tests per day.
USB communication provides convenient download to a
standard USB memory stick and an on-board 10,000 record
memory provides interruption-free testing for improved
efficiency, with a large QWERTY or QWERTZ keypad for
fast data entry. All products have the option of a barcode
scanner and a thermal transfer barcode label printer
operating directly from the USB port. Thermal transfer labels
are highly resistant, stable and easily available.
5 soft-keys give direct access to frequently used functions,
accelerating navigation through menus and therefore
increasing productivity, where time is money. Both standard
and customer configurable test groups are available for fast,
flexible asset testing.
Tests available in the range include 250 V and 500 V insulation
tests, 200 mA, 10 A and 25 A earth bond tests, differential,
touch and alternative (substitute) leakage tests, operational
VA tests, RCD trip-tests for portable RCDs, anti-surge and
RCD protected extension leads and power cords.
Accessories supplied with all models include a combined
earth-bond and insulation test lead, an adaptor for testing
230 V extension leads, a laptop power supply adaptor, and
a carry-case for convenient product and lead storage. All
instruments can export data in CSV format which can be read
directly on a PC using Microsoft
®
Excel.
APPLICATIONS
There is a legal requirement for any landlord, employer or
owner of a place of work or public place, to ensure that all
electrical equipment accessible by tenants, employees or the
public is maintained in a safe condition, and an acceptable
method of ensuring this is by routine electrical testing. This
can be performed by electrical contractors, specialist PAT
testing organisations, maintenance departments, or facilities
management companies.
The PAT400 range is suitable for performing portable
appliance testing in locations such as hotels, public houses,
schools, colleges, nurseries, shops, offices, theatres, banks,
restaurants, cafés, sports and leisure facilities, cinemas,
factories and hair salons etc. where high volume testing
requires that accurate records may be difficult to maintain, or
aided by, on-board memory and download to management
software. The PAT450 is particularly suitable for use in tool-
hire shops where equipment is routinely tested prior to hire,
or service workshops where deep disassembly is routine, and
will perform a flash test in addition to standard PAT tests.
