Portable Appliance Testing
In addition to being tested to the above generic International EMC, LVD and Safety Directives/
Standards, every Starlite Mk 5 is tested for electrical safety before leaving the factory .
It is highly recommended that you re-apply these tests at intervals, as directed by your local
safety authority, to ensure the safety of the Unit(s) and the people and place(s) in which the
Unit(s) are being used.
There are normally a minimum of 2 (two) basic tests that should be applied when required, but you
should test the equipment fully at regular intervals;
EARTH (GROUND) BONDING TEST: -
Applies a substantial test current, around 25A, down the Earth (Ground) pin of the plug and a probe,
which is connected, in turn, to exposed metalwork on the three main sections of the Unit under test.
These sections are the head, the yoke and the base. From this the tester determines the resistance of
the Earth Bonding, to each section.
For safety, these resistance’s should be less than 0.1Ω (Ω (Typically 0.05Ω)Ω)
Note: When testing, please ensure the Earth probe makes direct contact with metal and not the paint
covering it.
INSULATION TEST: -
This test applies a voltage of approx. 500 Volts between the live and neutral (bonded together) and the
Earth, from which the tester measures the insulation resistance.
For safety, this resistance should be greater than 7 MΩ (Ω (Typically 20 MΩΩ)
