PAT Testers with RCD Testing

PAT testers with RCD testing allow you to complete both appliance testing and RCD verification with a single unit. These testers can perform trip-time tests, ramp tests and polarity checks, making them essential for contractors who work with portable RCDs, construction sites, or workplaces that rely on temporary power systems.

Choosing a tester with integrated RCD functionality saves time and provides a more complete compliance workflow. Many advanced testers combine RCD testing with Bluetooth, data logging, and printer compatibility, giving you a versatile solution suitable for almost any testing environment.

This range includes rugged, reliable models designed for accuracy and full AS/NZS 3760 compliance - ideal for technicians who want to reduce equipment load while improving testing efficiency.
