BATTPAT Contractors PAT Testing Kit
The BATTPAT Contractors PAT Testing Kit is designed to carry out electrical safety checks on UK 230/240 V appliances and leads. It is centred around the compact, battery-powered BATTPAT tester, whose portable design makes it easy to move between testing locations. Its straightforward PASS/FAIL operation allows users to quickly determine whether equipment meets the selected safety checks without navigating a complicated interface.
The BATTPAT is suitable for routine checks on Class I earthed and Class II double-insulated equipment, as well as extension leads and computer IEC leads. A single button initiates the required test, with separate LED indicators providing clear PASS or FAIL results for the insulation and earth bond checks. When testing extension leads and IEC leads, the tester can also perform a polarity check. Its long-lead function supports testing of extension leads over 20 metres in length, while compatibility with surge-protected extension leads adds further versatility for service and maintenance applications.
For contractors carrying out practical, lower-volume PAT testing, the BATTPAT focuses on the essential electrical safety checks rather than unnecessary complexity. The supplied IEC adaptor allows compatible IEC leads and equipment to be tested, while the PAT certificate pad provides a convenient way to record test results manually. Once testing is complete, the included PASS and FAIL labels can be applied to equipment to make its test status immediately visible. The Tuff Tag Cable Wrap Labels provide a durable solution for identifying cables and leads, helping markings remain clear during regular use.
Everything is supplied in a test-meter kit bag, giving contractors a convenient way to carry the BATTPAT tester, paperwork, adaptor and labelling supplies between jobs. The kit is particularly useful where equipment needs to be checked on site, during maintenance work or as part of routine workplace safety inspections.
While the BATTPAT provides fundamental electrical safety testing, visual inspection should also form part of a sensible PAT testing process. Checking appliances and leads for obvious damage, deterioration or other visible defects alongside the electrical tests helps provide a more complete assessment of equipment safety.
