3.7b Test an EPOD/Extension Lead with MOV
and/or
RCDs
Visually inspect the appliance as per requirements of
AS/NZS 3760. If the cord passes a visual inspection
proceed with the electrical tests. AS/NZS 3760
requires an earth resistance test to be performed to
each outlet.
This test sequence uses a leakage test to replace
an insulation test at 500V DC to avoid triggering the
MOV (surge protector) or to apply power to the RCD
to allow circuit connections.
Operators have the choice of carrying out two test
sequences for EPODs with MOV and/or RCD:
Procedure A:
a complete test sequence is carried
out for every socket (earth, leakage
and
polarity)
Procedure B:
a complete test sequence is carried
out on the very last socket. Only an
earth test is carried out on the
remaining
sockets.
Note: For extension leads with RCDs, follow
3.7b Procedure A and carry out a single
socket
test.
Procedure A:
1. Plug the mains lead into the PAC3760 DL and a
mains supply socket.
2. Plug powerboard lead into mains outlet socket on
the PAC3760 DL.
3. Plug IEC Lead into the IEC socket on the top of the
PAC3760
DL.
4. Plug the IEC Lead plug into the fi rst socket of the
EPOD.
5. Press the Class 1 and LKGE buttons simultaneously.
The PAC3760 DL will perform an earth test.
