Test and Tag training

Testing and tagging extension leads is crucial to ensure electrical safety in workplaces and other settings. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to test and tag extension leads: Visual Inspection: Start by visually inspecting the extension lead for any signs of damage, wear, or defects. Look for frayed or exposed wires, damaged insulation, broken plugs or sockets, and any other visible issues. Ensure that the plug and socket pins are intact and undamaged. Check for any signs of overheating or discoloration, which could indicate potential problems. Polarity Check: Use a polarity tester or socket tester to check the correct wiring polarity of the extension lead. This ensures that the active, neutral, and earth wires are connected properly. Verify that the active wire (typically brown), neutral wire (typically blue), and earth wire (typically green/yellow) are correctly wired according to standard color codes. Insulation Resistance Test: Perform an insulation resistance test using a p...

Testing and tagging a fridge involves ensuring its electrical safety and functionality. Here's a general guide on how to test and tag a fridge: Visual Inspection: Begin by visually inspecting the fridge and its power cord for any signs of damage, wear, or deterioration. Check for frayed wires, damaged insulation, cracks in the casing, or any other visible defects. Ensure that the plug, socket, and power cord are in good condition and securely connected. Polarity Check: Use a polarity tester or a socket tester to check the correct wiring polarity of the power outlet to which the fridge will be plugged in. This ensures that the active, neutral, and earth wires are connected properly. Verify that the plug of the fridge is wired correctly according to standard color codes (active wire typically brown, neutral wire typically blue, earth wire typically green/yellow). Insulation Resistance Test: Perform an insulation resistance test using a portable appliance tester (PAT) or a multimeter...
