Testing mains extension leads
This short IEC lead allows the testing of mains extension leads. Plug the
extension lead into the BattPAT. Plug the adaptor into one of the sockets of
the extension lead and also into the IEC testing socket on the BattPAT.
Press the Power cord button to test Earth Continuity, Insulation Resistance
and Polarity.
Note 1: On a multi-way mains extension lead, make sure that you check all the
socket outlets.
Note 2: The Insulation Resistance test is carried out at 360V. This means that
surge-protected mains extensions will pass when this test is carried out on the
BattPAT.
Note 3: The BattPAT is designed to pass leads with lengths up to 10 metres.
When testing leads of length 10 to 24 metres press the long lead button once.
The LED for this range of lengths will light up. The test can now be carried out
by pressing the Power Lead button.
When testing leads of length 25 to 40 metres press the long lead button twice.
The LED for this range of lengths will light up. The test can now be carried out
by pressing the Power Lead button.
Once the testing is complete, it is important to label the leads.
