Default PAT testing damage (UK)


"Arfa Daily is ****ed in the Head "


Over the years, I've seen a lot of items from schools and commercial
premises that have odd microprocessor-y problems, and a recent PAT sticker
on them,



** They all have recent PAT stickers !!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a blatant red herring.


so I'm certain in my own mind,



** You are a man of very uncertain mind.


that these have suffered damage as a result of either inept or
inappropriate use of a tester.



** Absolute ********.


The items in question, are often boom boxes that are double insulated, and
have a removable figure 8 power lead, so there is absolutely no point in
applying these tests, anyway.



** The reverse is true.

Class 2 items are the most important to PAT test - as they RELY, 100%,
on insulation quality to be safe.

So the leakage test is ESSENTIAL !


As to wall-wart powered stuff, I can't recall ever seeing an item that may
have been damaged in such a way, but if other items with a similar small
power transformer fixed internally can suffer,


** Massive false presumption.

Wot an utter imbecile.


I don't see ....



** The only correct statement.

AD is an utter IMBECILE.
