Megger PAT150-R Rechargeable Manual PAT Tester

Note: the Megger PAT150-R is the upgraded, rechargeable version of the Megger PAT150. Both testers are otherwise identical.

Handheld, portable and easy-to-use, Megger's PAT150-R PAT tester enables fast, simple and safe testing of electrical appliances in any environment ranging from offices to shops, business units and anywhere else with appliances to test.

A manual PAT tester, the Megger PAT150-R does not include any memory storage, requiring you to jot down results yourself in an applicable PAT testing logbook. We'd highly recommend this tester for use by those with only a few appliances to test - the PAT150-R is best suited for use by landlords, charity shops, care homes, smaller offices etc.

The PAT150-R, the upgraded version of the PAT150, has the added benefit of fully rechargeable batteries, making it suitable for porting from test to test. All tests are performed with minimal input from the user, ensuring that appliances can be checked quickly and effectively.

Made in compliance with all UK and European requirements for checking electrical applicance safety, the Megger PAT150-R can be used with class I and class II appliances, extension/power leads and also with IT equipment. By using appropriate 110V or 415V adaptors, you can also use this tester to check 110V equipment or three-phase (415V) equipment.
