ferreter.al 22 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 im a electritian by trade but iv also got a pat tester,i absolutly despise doing it,it is the most boring job in the world,id rather pack sandwiches but if i hannt got much on its a bit of money,you really have to get stuck in as well because you cant realy charge much more than £2 per item Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabbithunter 456 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) plug your tester into the mains. plug appliance into tester and clamps on earth visually inspect the appliance & lead.... and thats all there is to it really Edited April 2, 2009 by Rabbithunter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quasar 1 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I did training and programming and Tech Support for this in my previous, previous job of 14 years., In the early days it was for Metrotest and then we moved onto bigger people AVO Megger, which are now known as Megger, We are also NICEIC endorsed and replicated all their certificates within the software we developed. With Megger we actualyl helped design some of the testing hardware for PAT and 16th and programmed some of the chip-ware. Was fun and enjoyable, and resulted in many trips to Dover where Megger are based. I even created and design all the online sales and TS site: MEgger TEch is still going strong http://www.mtsforum.co.uk/ PS im am not even a qualified leccy, just a qualified programmer.
