Tests we conduct

Electrical testing of portable equipment will involve the following:

(i) Earth bond continuity tests
(ii) Insulation resistance testing
(iii) Functional checks

(a) Earth Bond Test (Class 1 equipment only):

Readings should show less than 0.1+R Ohms (where R is the resistance of the lead)
Tested at a current of 1.5 times the rating of the fuse and no greater than 25A for a period of between 5 and 20 seconds or with a short-circuit test current within the range 20mA to 200mA.

(b) Insulation Resistance Test:

The applied test voltage should be approximately 500 Vdc

Class 1 heating equipment < 3kW 0.3M Ohms
Class 1 All other equipment 1M Ohms
Class 2 Equipment 2M Ohms
Class 3 Equipment 250k Ohms

(c) Optional Tests:

Flash Test: No flashover or breakdown shall occur
Operation/Load test: Compare reading with stated details on nameplate
Earth leakage test:
Class 1 Handheld Appliances 0.75mA
Other Class 1 Appliances 3.5mA
Class 2 Appliances 0.25mA
