I am a retired electrical engineer qualified to HNC Electrical and C&G 2391 Inspection and Testing.
I sit on the committee for a local community hall and have been looking after the electrical maintenance requirements. I am now considering carrying out the PAT testing myself which would involve about a dozen items. Although being responsible for getting items tested in a factory, I have never done a PAT test myself.
I keep reading that I should go on a course, is this really necessary?
I am also looking for recommendations for a tester. I would like something simple, but I would like to see the see the amount of earth leakage as opposed to just a pass/fail indication.
Looking forward to your advice...
