General Information
Mains Power Outlet Check (may be factory disabled for
some situations)
The mains power outlet supplying a
SafeTcheck
is checked
for the existence of an Earth, Active-Neutral transposition and
Mains voltage tolerance.
Earthed appliances are tested for:
• Electrical continuity <=100K Ohm
• Earth continuity <=1 Ohm @ 200mA*
• Insulation resistance >=1M Ohm (250/500V DC Selectable)
Note:
If the appliance requires mains power to energise
its On/Off switch (and the switch must be “on” to
complete the mains electrical circuit), a
SafeTcheck
can
conduct a Current Leakage Test (Run Test) to ensure
Leakage Current is <= 5mA.
Double insulated appliances are tested for:
•
(unique to a
SafeTcheck
and an alternative
to Probe Mode) ensures the stainless steel cloak is correctly
in place to provide a return path for any leakage current
during the insulation resistance test
• Electrical continuity <=100K Ohm
• Insulation resistance >=1M Ohm (250/500V DC Selectable)
Note:
If the appliance requires mains power to energise
its On/Off switch (and the switch must be “on” to
complete the mains electrical circuit), a
SafeTcheck
can
conduct a Current Leakage Test (Run Test) to ensure
Leakage Current is <= 1mA.
Extension/Mains leads are tested for:
• Insulation resistance >=1M Ohm
• Earth circuit continuity <=1.0 Ohm @ 200mA*
• Electrical continuity for resistance Active/Neutral
10K Ohm nominal
• 'Figure 8' leads (no earth) Insulation resistance
Active/Neutral to Cloak >=1M Ohm
Test duration
• Approx. 3.0 seconds
Electrical stress test parameters
• Insulation 500/250V DC
• Earth circuit 200mA nominal (High Current Earth
Test Option available*)
Run test (leakage current test)
• Separate 20A Run Socket for user safety (no switched
earth – compliant with AS3100)
• Leakage current clamped at 6mA for user safety.
Run Test will terminate at >6mA leakage current
• Earthed Appliance Leakage current <=5mA
• Double Insulated Appliance Leakage current <=1mA
• Supplies 15A @ 240V AC for the duration of test
• The duration of Run Tests is user variable
RCD Tester conducts a Lead Test and then an RCD Test
• Insulation resistance >=1M Ohm
• Earth circuit continuity <=1.0 Ohm @ 200mA
• Electrical continuity for resistance Active/Neutral 10K Ohm
nominal (<10K Ohm is considered a short)
• Connection polarity (transposition of active and neutral)
• Mains Isolation included
• Trip Times >300mS @ 30mA & >40mS at 10mA
(measured at 0° and 180° crossing)
3 Phase Appliance Testing (when fitted – Pro Logger II only)
• Separate 20 & 32A Run Sockets supplied (other currents
available)
• Checks for appliance running (Switched on)
• Leakage current <=5mA
• Leakage current is clamped at 6mA for user safety.
Run Test will terminate at >6mA leakage current.
• The duration of the 3 Phase Run Test is user variable
Note:
*0.2, 10 & 25A test currents are available with
the High Current Earth Bond Option (Pro Logger II only).
Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) apply for this option.
Function and basic technical specification
A SafeTcheck has been designed and manufactured
to comply with Australian Standards AS3100 & AS3760
to maximise user safety
