PAT Testing Three-Phase Equipment — What You Need to Know

Three-phase equipment needs PAT testing too. Here is what is involved.

Three-phase equipment is common in industrial and construction environments. It requires PAT testing just like single-phase equipment.

What Is Three-Phase Equipment?

Three-phase equipment uses a three-phase electrical supply for more power. Common examples include large motors, industrial compressors, welding equipment, and commercial kitchen equipment.

How Does Testing Differ?

The fundamental tests are the same: visual inspection, earth continuity, and insulation resistance. However, three-phase equipment requires a PAT tester capable of handling additional conductors and higher power ratings.

Do I Need a Specialist?

You need a tester with the right equipment and experience. Green Tag PAT Testing is equipped for both single-phase and three-phase equipment.
