Free Complete Guide to PAT Testing

UNI-T UT527 PAT Tester

If you're looking to get started doing your own PAT testing, or are looking for a simple-to-use, entry-level unit that does all the basic tests you need, look no further than the UNI-T UT527 PAT Tester. One of our best-selling PAT testers, it is perfectly suited for use by users in any application, particularly in smaller businesses, offices, charity shops, care homes, the leisure industry and absolutely anywhere else where you only have a small amount of appliances to test.

PAT Testing Made Simple

Even if you're brand new to the field of PAT testing, using the UNI-T UT527 is incredibly simple. All you need to do in the vast majority of cases is plug in your appliance to the tester, press the test button and make a note of the results in a PAT logbook or similar record-keeping system.

  • Simple PASS/FAIL Indication - the PAT tester simply tells you if an appliance has passed or failed the testing procedure; there's no complicated numbers and readings shown. The upgraded version, the UT528, does show full readings.
  • Three-Button Test Activation - once you're connected to your appliance, all you need to do is press the right button to test. There are three buttons on the front of the unit: the first is for class I appliances, the second is for class II appliances and the third is for use with IEC and extension leads
  • Built-in IEC Port and Mains Plug Port - in most cases, there's no need to use an IEC adapter to test IEC leads (such as laptop power supplies etc) as they'll plug directly into the top of the instrument. You can also plug standard 3-pin plug appliances into the slot on the front of the tester
  • Large-Size Screen - easily view the results of your tests, even from a distance

Testing Capabilitites

Whether you're testing kettles in an office or 110V equipment on a construction site*, this PAT tester is suitable for the job. It can test:

  • Class I Electrical Appliances - includes such things as kettles, toasters, microwaves, fridges etc
  • Class II Electrical Appliances - includes things such as drills, televisions, lamps and other power tools
  • IT Equipment - the UT527 performs a safe, low current earth bond test so it won't damage IT equipment
  • IEC Leads and Extension Leads* - always make sure you test detachable power supplies too during PAT testing
  • 110V and 415V Equipment - easily test 110V-powered appliances or three-phase 415V equipment with appropriate adapters (adaptors sold separately)
  • *NEW for 2021* 250V Insulation Resistance Updated 5th Edition products now include 250V insulation resistance test for testing sensitive and surge-protected equipment
