1.0 Introduction 

The  PAC-3P  is  a  portable,  battery  powered  3  phase  stand-alone  test  instrument  for 
performing  earth  continuity  and  earth  leakage  current  tests  as  required  by  AS/NZS  3760, 
including: 

Earth continuity @ 200mA 
Leakage Current Test – Mains-powered 

The unit conducts a sequence test, starting with an earth continuity test and then proceeding 
with the leakage test. It indicates Pass/Fail and the actual measured readings on the LCD 
display and provides on-screen user prompts. It includes safety features such as preventing 
a leakage current test in event of a failed earth continuity test result. 20A and 32A extension 
lead test adaptor  is  included  with  an  earth test pin  terminal,  which eliminates  the need for 
probing of the extension lead earth.
