Powered Tests

Warning

Mains voltage applied to appliance

The following powered tests differ from the previous tests in that they
apply mains supply voltage to the appliance to perform their
functions:-

• Leakage

Test

• Touch Leakage Test
• Operation

Test

The Tester performs an initial low voltage test to establish that the
appliance can be safely powered.

Warning

It is important that the user verifies that an appliance

with moving parts (e.g. an electric drill) is safely

mounted to allow movement without causing damage to

equipment or personnel.

If the potential load current is too high, a warning message appears,
allowing the user to continue. If a Live to Neutral short exists, this
message will appear, and if tests are continued the fuses will blow. If
the potential load current is low, a warning message appears to allow
the user to check that the appliance is switched on, and all fuses are
intact. The Tester also performs a safety test to verify that internal
relays are properly set before applying full mains supply to the
appliance.
