Megger PAT450 Downloading Portable Appliance Tester

The new Megger PAT450 Downloading Portable Appliance Tester is a part of the Megger PAT400 series, a new generation of downloading portable appliance tester. It fully PAT tests portable electrical equipment to the latest edition of the Code of Practice for the In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment. The top of the range PAT450 provides the same extensive memory and downloading capability of the PAT410 with the added 110V operation and 10 & 25A bond tests of the PAT420. In addition a 1.5kV and 3kV flash test is available. This is ideal for tool hire outlets and service workshops where flash testing is routine.

Megger PAT 450 testing abilities
► 250 & 500V insulation tests
► 200mA continuity test
► Additional 10A & 25A earth bond tests
► Differential, substitute and touch current earth leakage tests
► Operational VA test
► Portable RCD testing
► Extension lead and power cord tests
► 1.5kV & 3kV flash testing

The addition of 5 soft-keys next to the display give direct access to frequently used functions, accelerating navigation through menus and increasing productivity. Both standard and customer configurable test groups are available for fast, flexible asset testing. A large QWERTY keypad enables fast and accurate data entry. All sockets and connectors are easily accessible and fully labelled with a single connection for both continuity and insulation test probe. The Megger 450 uses a high visibility VGA colour display for simple selection of test groups, clear presentation of results and direct indication of PASS or FAIL by colour. 

The Megger PAT450 downloading PAT tester has a high duty-cycle, with the design tailored to fast testing, easy operation, and all-day use. The Megger PAT400 range of portable appliance testers feature a unique fast-re-start, so that when moving the tester from one room to another it re-starts instantly from the same menu where it was unplugged. This is a significant timesaver as it allows more tests to be performed per day. The Megger PAT 450 USB ports provide convenient download to a standard USB memory stick and an on-board 10,000 record memory provides interruption-free testing for improved efficiency. All instruments also include Download Manager software which enables data to be converted into a CSV format which can be read directly on a PC using Microsoft® Excel.
