3. Product summary and explanation
3.1 Product summary
The KEW 6201A is a hand-held portable appliance tester, performing four
functions to ensure the Safety of Class I and Class II appliances. And also can
measure the mains voltage. Readings are displayed on a large liquid crystal
display (LCD) below which are three LEDs, light up in 2 color, 2 color LEDs
which unambiguously display a pass or fail indication for results dictated by
international standards.
This instrument is suitable for performing tests as required by the following
standards.
AS/NZS 3760 In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment.
This instrument is designed to check the electrical safety of appliances of
Class I and Class II categories.
As a guide IEC standard define these two categories as follows:
Class I : Appliances which have a functional insulation throughout and
an earth connected case. These are often described as earthed
appliances.
Class II: Appliances which have both functional and additional insulation
where any metal parts cannot become Live under fault conditions.
