We are so grateful for any reviews but even better if its another 5 star.
This bespoke course for a Globally recognised service provider incorporated trip time testing at different parts of the sinewave cycle. (180/0 degrees).
We believe that if you carry out Portable RCD Testing the user should have in mind expected results at both 30mA and 150mA and have some understanding of the 50Hz sinewave in order to interpret test results to complete the report.

Regulation within the PAT Testing Industry.

It is widely assumed that the PAT Testing Industry is un-regulated but this is not necessarily true. Whether you refer to it as PAT,EET,ISITEE or In-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment certain activities ARE regulated by Trading Standards.

In continuing my role in raising standards within the industry I am happy to announce our Collaboration and invite all those with a responsibility to assess the risks associated with electrical equipment in the work place, such as Duty Holders and service providers to attend this FREE Webinar creating the link between interested parties and the Regulators.

This is NOT another inactive Association seeking membership fees but volunteer specialists within the PAT Industry, Key Trading Standards experts, Training and Compliance experts and supported by The Chartered Trading Standards Institute and Electrical Safety First, designed to give you practical knowledge and guidance you can use immediately in your work.

Our show on the road...
Day one at Rollover Slough demonstrating how the Formal Inspection differs from the User Check.
Every lead in the picture, Every Fuse, Every Charger and most of the plugs fail the Formal Inspection but all passed the user check.
We try and teach the importance of the difference between a 'Visual ' and a 'Formal ' inspection by those suitably trained.
BEFORE any relevant electrical theory and testing takes place.
