PAT only applies to mains kit, no mains nothing to test. ...
I don't think that is true. How about an emergency lighting system fed
by a bank of batteries at 230v?
They contain 12V rechargeable batteries and two enclosed halogen
lights (12W). Other than that they are empty boxes. There is no mains
connection.
In that case, there is very little electrical risk, so a risk
assessment
will show that they may not need testing, but, there is a fire risk
even
with 12v, and especially with 12v halogens.
Fuse batteries, glass screen halogens, SLA to avoid spill, mount so
wood's at safe temps.
NT
What would you fuse the batteries to? What temperature would you raise
them to for the fusion process?
Methinks anything containing halogens and emitting light would have a
glass screen incidentally.
What's an SLA?
Sealed lead acid.
