PAT Testing Training and Compliance by JR PAT Testing

[@alunroberts1439]

On the toaster you did to do it on the correct way. You did not push the handle down to engage the internal switch. So you tested it open. Well done.

[@RBcymru]

You should check the earth probe lead to the socket on the PAT tester before starting.

I'm doing the 2377-7 in November. Really liked this and downloaded it for training... chin chin

[@michaelhenry4405]

a microwave emissions test... I learnt something today... I have never seen anybody measure this before... It didnt even occur to me that this might be something that can fail. Brilliant video. Top class. Thanks

[@afristar685]

Why would you need to test a microwave for emissions other than to find something to charge the customer for. It's not required in code of practice. And who tests their microwave at home?

[@michaelhenry4405]

@@afristar685 For the same reason I check my cars tyres. nobody says I must check them. And after this video I tested my microwave. 1 minute. Either you are not from the UK or you have no idea how H&S regulations work in the the UK. You are required to ensure the equipment is of safe use.

[@afristar685]

Microwaves, in addition to radio waves and visible light, are all non-ionizing radiation. The only non-ionizing radiation that causes cancer is UV light. So overall, microwave ovens are safe to use and will not cause cancer or any other adverse health conditions

[@dickymintnt700]

Ots called good practice and is good for customers ​@@afristar685

[@alunroberts1439]

On the coffee machine the fail is from the spur socket screw being in a plastic box the screw is not attached to a earth. You need to know you have a good earth such as using a socket tester the probe terminals.

[@BaGaBwithaB]

Nice work. I think I would have learned more about the devices for PAT testing if there was a clop on the menu of the PAt test tools

[@dgw07]

First thing I would have done before testing is to inspect the cable and plug , fuse etc before plugging it straight into the tester

[@ashvanbro9329]

Bring out more videos I really enjoyed this mate well done

[@Thomas-z9t5k]

Sad case

[@alunroberts1439]

Also on IEC leads check the amp rating of the lead such as 10Amp and check the fuse is equal to or less then.

[@county582]

Great video, would be great to see what tests you select on screen, I do this about twice a year and totally forget what I did when it comes around again 👍

[@geofhillier382]

That's really interesting - I always thought PAT meant Portable - so a fixed appliance such as a cooker or a coffee machine was not part of that testing regime.

[@designbydavies]

Great video. Very thorough. Thanks

[@Bestofthebest383]

8:01 I think you should switch kettle on in order to do the test

[@alexhughes8895]

Bloody good video, will help in my exams next week!

[@macmerc1556]

Please be assured im not questioning your tests but having just started PAT testing i think its interesting to see other professionals (similar to yourself) doing things differently. A couple of other videos show the monitor as one test (cable and lead combined) and similarly the kettle being tested as one unit also. It seems there are areas of testing that seem to be grey! Great video thank you for posting.

[@shetlandsoundlight4368]

The 110v extension lead was a fail as the flap was missing from the female side, meaning it has no IP rating and would be not fit for purpose!

[@Garry1980]

The fan you tested needs turning on for the insulation test ?

[@katiefinnegan4649]

This was a superbly delivered instruction. Please can you tell me what tester you were using? I’m a wind turbine tech thinking of doing this as a side business.

[@alunroberts1439]

On the 4 way did you did test each out let very good.

[@stgeorgethegreat3165]

No visual check on iec lead at beginning?

[@trif55]

did not know emissions testing was required for microwaves as part of the testing?

[@BrevTech]

i'm confused why you had to reach underneath to find a good earth spot on the coffee machine. There are metal panels all over it, so surely they are the biggest risk to the user and hence they should be well earthed?

[@tucker35Ire]

Are you doing 500v test as a class 1 on the monitor or 250v.

[@Sean-ws9je]

Am I Forced To Plug This Thing Into The Wall To Operates This Pat Testing Device ?

[@monkeyvanko]

I would like to know your tricks. I have the same tester, but to get to the point of printing the test result I have to plug in the tester to the mains, get through so many steps on the machine, I m just keep typing, pressing buttons... You just plug the cable of the tested device and by pressing twice you have a result within seconds. Would by good to see the display, as somebody mentioned here

[@damiandeadbeats]

a coffee machine is plumbed into the building water mains therefore not a portable appliance , so why test it ??

[@Superfanfanatic]

Do you have any Pat stickers I want some

[@piecetoyou8285]

Dude great video but it was bugging me every time you said keckle lol

[@davidforde1261]

Great video. I have question regarding testing a hoover when I do the class 2 test and have the unit switched in as I do the test it doesn't power up. Am I doing test wrong. Its same tester as yours and preset is second on list

[@tucker35Ire]

Your hoover shouldn't power up on a class 2 test. It only powers up when you do a earth touch test.

[@hainman1]

Class 2 touch leakage test with the pat test machine plugged in is only way the appliance will start up/power up.We use same machine and on menu I think you use selection K

[@alunroberts1439]

PAT testing so it is portable appliance test test.

[@RobertMarr-u1z]

Sorry to say but I'm not a fan of you demonstrating poor safe isolation procedures with the use of a volt stick which is not a approved voltage indicator nor did you have any way to check and prove that circuit was dead before you stuck your non insulated screw drives into the terminals... Safety comes first!! I think you demonstrate some other great techniques but you let yourself and others down by not following safe isolation procedures and using the appropriate tools. No one wants to see someone else get injured because they followed your video and use of a volt stick that picks up static voltage and doesn't give a true reading for a dead circuit. Please be careful in the future!

[@deborahskeete-cq3zn]

I thought the monitor was a class 2 and the monitor was a class 1.

[@sw8741]

This must be one of those make work jobs things. "What can we do with all these unemployed people?"

[@alexanderelia3905]

Poor video for a beginner watching! No close ups of the tester settings, no close ups of the wiring inside the socket and when performing an insulation test.

[@sc1950]

You failed to visually assess the IEC lead, open the casing and check the fuse and connections inside it before doing the electrical test. So not a good example here, moving on..

[@jamiemoffat1722]

Burping at 29:10

[@tamaszahorecz3177]

🇭🇺👍👍👍

[@alunroberts1439]

When putting the cooler socket back on. Did you do a insulation resistance test in case the cable got snagged by the screw going back in. No you did not you silly boy.

[@alunroberts1439]

On dead test did you test your tester on a proof tester no you did not you silly boy

[@Thomas-z9t5k]

Jobs worth

[@trippyai4370]

I pushed the probe against the copper on the base of the kettle and it failed ?
