November 2016Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
Growing concern for public safety and the increasing complexity of fixed electrical installations in domestic, commercial and industrial premises places extra responsibility on electrical test engineers who are charged with verifying conformity to South Africa’s Certificate of Compliance (COC) safety standards.
SA’s Electrical contractors are well versed in the verification requirements of the COC, and that the audit should be carried out in the following sequence:
1. Visual inspection.
2. Testing of the following: continuity of protective conductors; insulation resistance; protection by separation of circuits; floor and wall resistance; automatic disconnection of supply; polarity; and functional performance.
The Fluke 1660 series multifunction installation testers are specifically designed to carry out the tests specified, and all local standards and regulations in the safest and most efficient way.
Fluke recently announced the launch of the new Fluke 1660 series with Fluke Connect, which includes the new 1664 designed to help prevent damage to connected appliances during insulation tests, and also allows users to send test results wirelessly via smartphone directly from the field. They are lightweight, and feature a unique ergonomic ‘curved’ form that, when carried by the neck strap, makes operation in the field more comfortable.
