Re: PAT TESTING Do you do it?
good point about the multimeter. back when i was a lad i used a mega that was great fun for shocking people too 😀 allways proved if earth was dodgy or not.
Re: PAT TESTING Do you do it?
the extra paperwork is due to pat testing forms unless you have a barcoding pat tester and can save the records on a pc. 🙂 this is getting to be a very scary subject bit like that wholesaler who dident like my posts 😥
Re: PAT TESTING Do you do it?
i was told both on my business traning course and my pat testing course that i must pat test anything i repair. problem with this is it means a lot of paperwork and extra fee for the customer. some repairs are so simple i dont pat test them like a washing machine door repair or replace or replacing a broken dial. a quick check with a multi meter from case to earth pin on plug makes shure its propely grounded. also checking from a screw on the side of a socket to a sink or pipe will show if the house earth is ok. ( or a plug in socket tester will do the job )
i did this test once after replacing a burnt terminal block on a dishwasher and found the socket had no earth. found a snapped earth wire in the fused spur feeding it. so hadto fix that too. worse thing is there was a strong smell of gas from the cooker next to me where i was working. customer said there due to have new fitted kitchen soon so they leave windows open for now 😯 scary people.
Re: PAT TESTING Do you do it?
i do pat testing with my appliance repairs. it helps when work is slow as i can get the odd nursing home or resturant to do. helps earn some money.
only problem is my equipment is due for calibration now 😥 there goes my christmas profits. but to pat test you do need to sit and pass the relevant college course could be evenings at a local college or a full day and then 2 exams at the end of the course. ( the course is all paperwork )
some places will lend you a pat tester to take home and learn with and some experiments in class to gain the experience.
“it is law that any appliance repaired must be pat tested”
