MAINS TESTER FOR UK 13A TYPE SOCKETS / EXTENSIONS | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This listing is for a Socket Tester. This unit does however tell you a lot more about the safety of your 230V mains supply than just the socket! The unit complies with BS5733 and is CE marked for peace of mind. Note! This fits a 13A UK type socket, but will indicate faults on 16A Caravan type supply. This tester is equally suitable for Home, Garage, Caravan, Motorhome, Camper, Boat etc. It will indicate fault conditions on any UK mains derived power source. It will also indicate L N reversal on Foreign campsites etc. This is quite common and could prove fatal. The tester will indicate the following fault conditions: *Live & Neutral reversal *No Earth *Neutral fault *Live & Earth reversal. (The actual fault could be anywhere back to the supply!) Note! It will not indicate Earth & Neutral reversal as these are at virtually the same potential and cannot be detected by this or any similar tester. The tester will indicate a fault condition when connected to most Inverters, this is due to the Neutral not being tied to Earth on many models. We will be producing a guide on our website regarding Mains safety in Caravans etc. There are of course several other areas that need to be considered for electrical safety, especially where extension leads, adapters and vehicles that are subject to vibration are being used with 230V. There are some guides available on the Camping & Caravan club site. Similar testers are used by Electricians before and after any work is carried out on the mains wiring. If any fault is indicated, disconnect and seek advice! Even on UK sites a socket tester should always be used on arrival and before connecting or using any appliances. IMPORTANT! All electrical installations and repairs should be carried out and fully tested by a qualified electrician, the use of this tester should only be considered as an early warning of safety issues. If in any doubt contact an Electrician immediately and disconnect/unplug any potentially faulty circuits. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
