Kewtech PAT Adaptor 1
Kewtech PAT Adaptor 1 allows an electrician to use an existing multifunction tester or insulation and continuity tester for basic portable appliance testing. It provides a practical way to carry out PAT work without first investing in a specialist PAT tester. This makes it well suited to smaller jobs and to electricians who want to add small-scale PAT testing to their existing electrical services.
For Class 1 appliances, the adaptor supports earth bond testing with a continuity tester and insulation testing at either 500V or 250V with an insulation tester. It also supports Class 2 insulation testing at 500V or 250V. Kewtech PAT Adaptor 1 can therefore be used for the mandatory tests stated in the supplied Code of Practice information, while the Class I and Class II connection diagram provides a useful reminder of the required connections.
Compatibility is kept broad through the use of standard 4mm test lead connections. The adaptor works with multifunction testers using 4mm or banana plug leads, including compatible testers from Megger, Dilog, Kewtech, Metrel and Seaward. Kewtech PAT Adaptor 1 can also be used with the Kewtech R2 4mm Adaptor when extension leads need to be tested, and the free KEWPAT App supports professional documentation.
