The Martindale Essentials Kit is built around the HPAT425 Portable Appliance Tester. The tester itself handles Class I, Class II, and IEC leads with automatic test sequences and clear PASS/FAIL results. It also offers an IT-safe 200 mA earth bond test and selectable 250 V or 500 V insulation testing.
The bundle includes dedicated test leads and adaptors, a carry case setup, and a full range of labelling and logging materials. It also includes supporting tools such as a socket tester, a microwave leakage detector, insulated screwdrivers, and an eLearning PAT testing course with certification.
