nd serious faults.

No they aren't a PAT test is an actual test. A visual test is a visual test . Just the same as you can with a MOT test, such as smashed lights, broken wo ndscreen.

Portable appliance testing (PAT) is the term used to describe the examinati on of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. M ost electrical safety defects can be found by visual examination but some t ypes of defect can only be found by testing.

past I;ve had items that have failed this.

WTF do you mean by that.

No you tell me what you mean by not always. If the appliance has an Earth fault then it would fail the PAT test it migh t not fail a visual inspection, this is what happend with a few bench suplk iies we had in teh lab the PAT unitl gave a resistabnce of >0.5 ohms IIRC a nd that was a fail, so I reduced the lengh oif the mains cable and the meta l parts of teh case sanded down so the earth screw went back to metal rathe r than 20+ years of grim. The meter on one of thesde PSU was next calibration date 1987 which was whe n the unit was meant to be calibrated, which isnlt a PAT failure in case th ough assumed it was.

I will on one condition. You get a good bit more realistic about your lack of knowledge instead of arguing from ignorance with people that have done PAT testing and understand the subject properly. Since that won't happen, enjoy your life. Bye.

I have the knowledge you have NOT.

What do you mean by done PAT testing what did you do just look at the equipment. In order to PAT test you have to do a bit more than just look at the item.
