Martindale Electric has unveiled two brand new handheld portable appliance testers (PAT) with the launch of the HPAT550 and HPAT650.

Compact, easy to operate and feature-rich, the new testers are designed to simplify PAT testing while maintaining full compliance with testing requirements for Class I and Class II appliances.

Replacing the extremely popular HPAT400, HPAT500 and HPAT600 the new models are built for portability and convenience. They offer one-button automatic testing and a clear PASS/FAIL indication, backed by measured values shown on a high-resolution colour display. These features, combined with USB-C fast charging and a lightweight, rugged design, make the HPAT series ideal for engineers conducting routine testing on the move.

The HPAT550 and HPAT650 deliver all the essential tests needed to verify the safety of electrical appliances. Both instruments include an IT-safe 200mA earth continuity test, selectable insulation resistance testing at 250V and 500V, and a dedicated test mode for IEC power leads. The 250V insulation test option ensures compatibility with surge-protected devices, giving testers greater flexibility across a wider range of applications.
