About Martindale Proving Units
Martindale Electric, a leading name in electrical safety testing, has developed proving units that ensure voltage indicators and test equipment are functioning correctly before use. These devices provide a known voltage source for testing voltage indicators before and after use, which are fundamental to implementing safe isolation procedures in accordance with Electricity at Work Regulations.
The proving unit range spans multiple voltage outputs to match different testing requirements, from the compact PD230SRD series for domestic applications to the PD690 series for industrial three-phase systems. Each model produces precise test voltages to verify voltage indicators, test lamps, and multimeters are working correctly.
Key specifications in the range include:
- Output voltage from 50V to 690V, depending on model
- Nominal output frequency of 50Hz (AC models)
- Operating temperature range of -10?C to 40?C
- Power supply via 6 x AA alkaline batteries
- Dimensions of 150 x 80 x 35mm for standard units
- Weight approximately 350g with batteries
Notable features vary by series:
- Stepped voltage outputs on SRD models matching common tester thresholds
- CALCHECK function on SX models for verifying installation tester accuracy
- Switchable AC and DC outputs (RD models)
- LED indication for different voltage thresholds
- Auto power-off function to preserve battery life
- Low battery indicators
- Magnetic hanging capability
Most models feature tough overmoulded cases for durability in industrial environments. These proving units are designed to provide instant voltage output upon contact, enabling quick verification of test equipment functionality. They serve essential functions in safe electrical isolation procedures, voltage indicator verification, installation testing, industrial maintenance, and electrical contracting.
