"Mark Allread"

I had to look up "PAT Testing" online. It sounds like yet one more
unnecessary time-and-money-wasting government annoyance, like lead-free
solder and banned cleaning solvents. I'm sure we in the USA will be doing
that too, soon enough. At first glance, an incorrectly applied PAT sounds
like a fine way to destroy MOV protection devices.


** MOVs are NOT connected from line to ground inside equipment sold in
Europe or Australia - cos it is a very dangerous practice.

In any case, the appliance tester only outputs a very small current to the
device under test in order to measure leakage to frame or chassis and is not
normally applied across the AC line terminals.
