Dave are you sure the R2 for the toaster isn't 0.20. I'm sure on that Code of Practice there is a page to say Class 1 R2 is 0.1 to cover the shell and all the way down to the earth connection (ie a kettle with its lead pulled out would be up to 0.1), and with the lead it should be 0.10max hence 0.20 for the toaster 🤔 I'm gonna check this next week probably coz my book is in lockdown in my sister's house.

For appliances with a supply cable, 0.1+R where R is the resistance of the protective conductor of the supply cable. So, yes, it can be higher than 0.1 Ohm. For something like this, I expect it to be less than 0.1 as it's a short lead length, but you're right that there is a differentiation there.
@MrSJT4 жыл бұрын
@@dsesuk yes I know where you're coming, with a short lead like that even if you got 0.18 and it's in the satisfactory range, you know something ain't right, it's like getting 20.1megohms on a new install, it exceeds the minimum 20m for a new install but you know something ain't right

Hi David I do enjoy your videos, I often learn something new and your style of delivery is very entertaining. As you mentioned other MFTs I just wanted to add that the Di-Log 9110/9118 has an "auto start" continuity function where it will measure continuously so long as the probes are in circuit with a resolution of two decimal places, so can easily be used to perform the continuity test you demonstrated. Or in non-auto mode the test button can simply be held for the required duration during which time it will continue measuring.

Hi David. Only just found you excellent KZbin blog. As usual, I seem to be late to the party 🤣 I love you take & comments, on all your subjects 👌 Regarding this video, I use a Fluke 1664FC for undertaking my PAT testing. This unit is supplied with a 'cheeky' little metal clip that allows me to short any pins of a standard 3-pin UK plug AND it allows me to plug the Fluke 4mm leads into it - thus achieving all the features dedicated socket adaptors (including yours) would supply!! I'm sure this adaptor is available separately, but I have NO idea what its cost would be. I thought this might help with some of your viewers. However, I do like your stand alone device, and think its a great idea for those who think you need to spend £thousands on adaptors!!

Hi Kevin. Welcome to the party. Please remain socially distanced to the other guests! Funnily enough, I happen to have one of those Fluke clips you mentioned; it came with my Fluke 1651B.

Instead of using two panel mount sockets drilled into the socket one could use three 4mm stackable shrouded connectors on short wires. In combination with a 13A plug to 4mm shrouded sockets adapter (which I belive most sparkies already have in their toolkit) this would give you more options. You could do everything you do in this video but you could also do extension lead tests and potentially leakage tests.

@@davidmarsden8868 4mm stackable shrouded connectors can be used as either a plug, a socket or both at the same time. That gives you a lot of flexibility to interconnect things in different ways for different tests. Plug the live and neutral plugs together for P+N-E testing. Plug all three plugs into your 13A plug to 4mm sockets adapter for earth leakage and current draw testing with your clamp meter. Use the adapters at both ends of an extension lead to test the extension lead etc.

You’re top banana with the comedy 😂 Just one other thing to watch with the Megger - if you use the Megger leads they’ll often not connect properly into normal banana sockets because of the shoulders on the leads. The way to get around it is to use the leads the other way around, so plugging the end with the shoulder into the tester itself.

Hi, as clearly in my question I ain`t no electrician, When you pat test these appliances and send the voltage through them especially the hairdryer when it has no earth on the plug, after the test do you have any hi voltage left in the appliances , so after removing your device, would you get a shock if your hand was to touch across the appliance plug pins, Because I seen some one was doing a test on a wire or some thing and after they discharged it after,
@dsesuk11 ай бұрын
You could potentially get a bit of a bite if the IR voltage charged a capacitor or such, however the test instrument normally discharges the load once the button is released. I show this in another video about fan faultfinding from last summer where I charge a cap using my Robin 1625, then when the test stops the cap discharges back into the Robin (it reports it as a negative voltage and sounds an audible warning).
