PAT testers explained
PASS, the independent test and measurement expert, has cross-tabulated the functions of 32 PAT testers from nine different manufacturers to produce a comprehensive three-level ranking of their features and benefits according to 18 different attributes.
The nine manufacturers include Fluke, Megger, Seaward, Martindale, Metrel, Kewtech, Robin Amprobe, UNIT and First Stop Safety. The 18 attributes for the 32 PAT testers featured comprise characteristics like different types of test (earth bond, insulation test voltage, etc) and options like Bluetooth wireless communications, barcode scanning, and so on.
