Martindale HPAT500/2 PAT Tester in Use

This PAT tester is made for use on all common appliances and can be used to test class 1 and class II appliances, IT equipment and IEC leads/extension leads. It performs earth bond testing, insulation resistance (selectable 250V/ 500V), tests of wiring live, neutral continuity and polarity and also tests fuses.

Despite its low cost the Martindale HPAT500/2 runs on fully rechargeable batteries and will not require mains power to operate, making it ideal or use in those areas where a power outlet isn't easily accessible! It is also supplied with a mains charger and, if necessary, can be used whilst plugged in for recharging thereby reducing downtime.
