This test is ideal for service agents and electricians. The user can plug in the appliance and turn it on with real
time measurements displayed on the display. This is useful when testing an appliance with a
compliance/name plate on it. The operator can compare the name plate details of operating voltage,
operating current, and power factor etc. should the appliance exceed the said values on the name plate it
could be deemed faulty and require service.
Please note: Because the power test is not required in the electrical testing standards there is no pass / fail
value in the TnT+. It is up to the user to determine if the item is a pass or a fail based on the compliance/name
plate.
If the result was a pass - Tag with the appropriate tag including "next test due" date and "return to service".
If the result was a fail - Tag with a DANGER TAG and remove the unit from service.
The Power Test allows the user to turn the appliance on and measure its performance as a digital
wattmeter. Displayed parameters are:
