Megger PAT150 PAT Tester

Offering straight-forward, reliable and efficient safety testing for portable and fixed electrical equipment, the Megger PAT150 Handheld Portable Appliance Tester is ideal for use in most environments, including offices, shops and business units.

With additional tests available for testing portable RCDs as well as test groups for Class I, Class II and extension/power leads, the Megger PAT150 also offers insulation testing at either 500V or 250V and substitute leakage testing as standard.

Offering a wealth of options, the Megger PAT150 also provides separate tests for Continuity, Insulation, mains powered leakage testing and SELV measurements all readily available using the Quick Test (QT) button.

Boasting adjustable PASS limits and user-configurable test durations, the Megger PAT150 can also null Bond lead resistance to reduce measurement errors, making it an incredibly versatile PAT Tester.

Live circuit measurement is also available for testing the mains supply and socket polarity or electrical circuit voltage to 300V (AC).

Enclosed in rubber armour and fitted with toughened glass, the Megger PAT150 is extremely durable and its battery powered operation makes it perfect for locations where an electrical supply isn’t available.
