Test Summary
The following statements provide a brief summary of the tests performed by the SmartPat 5500.
Earth bond
Checks the resistance between the Earth pin of the appliance under test and any exposed metalwork on
the appliance.
Insulation
Checks the resistance of the insulation between the Earth pin of the appliance under test cable plug or
the earth bond crocodile clip, to the Live and Neutral pins of the appliance (pins are connected together
within the SmartPAT 5500 for this test).
Fuse/Load/Leakage
A low dc fuse test is performed first to check the continuity of the fuse in the appliance under test, by
checking the resistance between the Live and Neutral pins of the appliance cable plug. On completion of
the fuse test an earth leakage test and a VoltAmpere test is performed with the appliance under test being
powered up.
Flash
A 1.5kV rms voltage is applied between the earth and live/neutral pins of a class I appliance and 3 kV rms
voltage between the flash probe and the live/neutral pins of a class II appliance.
