DESCRIPTION
The PAT420 from Megger is a new generation of
downloading portable appliance testers, fully testing portable
electrical equipment to the latest edition of the Code of
Practice for the In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical
Equipment. The PAT420 provides the same extensive memory and
downloading capability and also 10 A and 25 A earth bond testing.
USB communication provides convenient download to a standard USB memory stick., and an on-board 10,000 record memory provides interruption-free testing for improved efficiency, with a large QWERTY keypad for fast data entry. Data is directly compatible with Megger PowerSuite® software for professional certification, and all products have the option of a barcode scanner and a thermal transfer barcode label printer operating directly from the USB port. Thermal transfer labels are highly resistant, stable and easily available.
5 soft-keys give direct access to frequently used functions, accelerating navigation through menus and therefore increasing productivity, where time is money. Both standard and customer configurable test groups are available for fast, flexible asset testing.
Tests available in the range include 250 V and 500 V insulation tests, 200 mA, 10 A and 25 A earth bond tests, differential, touch and alternative (substitute) leakage tests, operational VA tests, RCD trip-tests for portable RCDs, anti-surge and RCD protected extension leads and power cords. RCD testing is now a requirement of the UK Code of Practice.
Accessories supplied with all models include a combined
earth-bond and insulation test lead, an adaptor for testing
230 V extension leads, a laptop power supply adaptor, and
a carry-case for convenient product and lead storage. All
instruments also include Download Manager software, to
enable data to be converted into a CSV format which can be
read directly on a PC using Microsoft® Excel.
Megger PowerSuite software can be purchased to compliment any PAT400, providing full databased asset management and professional electronic certificate generation, providing options for multiple clients and locations.
The PAT420 is suitable for performing portable appliance testing in locations such as hotels, public houses, schools, colleges, nurseries, shops, offices, theatres, banks, restaurants, cafés, sports and leisure facilities, cinemas, factories and hair salons etc. where high volume testing requires that accurate records may be difficult to maintain, or aided by, on-board memory and download to management software.

APPLICATIONS
There is a legal requirement for any landlord, employer or
owner of a place of work or public place, to ensure that all
electrical equipment accessible by tenants, employees or the
public is maintained in a safe condition, and an acceptable
method of ensuring this is by routine electrical testing. This
can be performed by electrical contractors, specialist PAT
testing organisations, maintenance departments, or facilities
management companies.
