The Seaward Group has upgraded the range of test functions performed by its Supernova dual voltage PAT tester to incorporate the testing of RCD trip times alongside its existing flash/hi-pot test and dual voltage testing capabilities. This means that all electrical safety tests can now be carried out on the complete range of workplace electrical equipment and appliances. The inclusion of the RCD test is in keeping with the latest IEE Code that when extension leads or multi-way adaptors are fitted with an RCD, the operation of the RCD should be checked using a test instrument to determine that the trip time is within specified limits.
