The compact HPAT400 HandyPAT from Martindale Electric is the perfect device for anyone who needs to check that electrical appliances are safe to use.

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require that any electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury is maintained in a safe condition.

With its one-button test selection and backlit display, the HPAT400 is very easy to operate and perfect for those responsible for checking and testing appliances.

Users can perform a 500V insulation test quickly, and the device enables you to switch between different test voltages of 250V and 500V with ease.

This is particularly useful when testing appliances with surge-protected circuits, such as sensitive IT equipment that requires a 250V test. Weighing just 700g, this lightweight, battery-powered, handheld PAT tester is also ideal for use in tight and hard-to-reach spaces.

The simple connection diagrams permanently displayed on the case body mean you can get testing right away. With a single button press, you can activate either a full Class I, Class II or lead test to ensure equipment is safe. The device displays clear PASS/FAIL indicators but doesn’t show test values.

The HPAT400 comes with an extension lead adaptor, an earth bond probe with clip, 6xAA alkaline batteries, and a sturdy “test & go” carry case with a separate pocket for accessories to keep the HandyPAT protected and safe. The device complies with BS EN 61010 safety standards.

Ideally suited for applications in the domestic and commercial sectors, the new PEL50 range of power energy loggers (PELs) from Chauvin Arnoux combine a compact handheld design with ease of use and a full range of measuring and monitoring functions.

These innovative instruments also make it easy for users to discriminate between loads in an installation, and thereby determine energy consumption on load-by-load basis.

There are currently two models in the range: the PEL51 is suitable for making measurements on one single-phase channel, while the PEL52 can make simultaneous measurements on two single-phase channels, or on one split-phase channel. Both instruments incorporate a large easy-to-read backlit display, and both feature a magnetised back so that they can be temporarily held in place on any steel surface such as an enclosure wall or door.

In most applications, it is unnecessary to turn off the mains supply when connecting the instruments, which are compatible with a large number of Chauvin Arnoux AC current clamps. When used with the new MINI94 clamp (accuracy class 0.2), the PEL51 and PEL52 offer excellent accuracy for measurements that include active and reactive power, distortion power, apparent power and all related energy measurements, as well as power factor.
