Understanding the Process of Testing and Tagging
It is a two-step process, which is carried out on electrical appliances and equipment. The process naturally includes:
Inspection
- Our team checks for visible signs of wear and tear such as exposed wires, melted insulation, loose connections, cracked plugs or damaged cases.
- In addition to this, we also check for the general condition of the appliance, plug and cable to ensure that nothing has deteriorated due to time, heat, dust or misuse.
Electrical Testing
While performing electrical testing, we use a special device called the Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), to check if your electrical appliance is safe to use. However, this machine runs a few important tests which are:
Earth Continuity Test
- This check is the appliance is properly connected to the ground. If it’s not, it could cause electric shocks during a fault.
- A proper connection to the ground helps redirect electricity safely in case of any mishap.
Insulation Resistance Test
- This checks if the electricity is leaking from the wires inside the appliance.
- Remember that good insulation prevents electricity from escaping and causing shocks or fires.
Polarity Check
- This makes sure that the wires inside the plug are connected to the right terminals.
- If the wiring is incorrect, the appliance might not work properly, or may malfunction, thereby posing serious risks.
Leakage Current Tests
- This measures if any small amounts of electricity are leaking during normal use.
- A low leakage level means the appliance is safe, as high leakage could be harmful.
