Description
Overview:
The Socket Polarity Tester with RCD Test Function is a compact plug-in checker designed by Faithfull to verify the wiring condition of UK 240V 3‐pin sockets. Housed in a durable plastic body, it quickly shows whether a socket is wired correctly or if faults such as live/neutral reversal or missing earth are present. It also provides a true ground error indication when contact voltage exceeds a safe threshold. An integrated RCD test challenges 30 mA devices to confirm that residual current protection trips within the expected window. Measuring 77 x 67 x 66 mm and weighing around 70 g, it is easy to carry in a tool bag and is suitable for electricians, maintenance teams, facilities staff, and DIY users working on fixed socket outlets in homes, offices, workshops, and site cabins.
Key Features:
- Checks socket polarity and wiring status on UK 240 V, 50-60 Hz 3‐pin outlets
- RCD test function for 30 mA devices with 30 mA ±15% test current
- RCD trip time indication window of 60-300 ms to verify response
- True ground error indication at a low contact voltage threshold (<35 V AC to earth)
- Five combined status indicators for clear fault identification
- Three neon indicators for rapid visual confirmation
- Additional LCD feedback for accurate ground fault indication
- Measurement category CAT III 300 V for added user safety in fixed-installation testing
- Nominal operating range 220 V ±10% suitable for typical UK supply
- Compact and lightweight (77 x 67 x 66 mm; approx. 70 g) for easy pocket carry
- Simple plug-in operation, no batteries required for basic checks
- Robust plastic housing designed for everyday site and workshop use
Typical Applications:
Quick validation of socket wiring during installation, inspection, or fault-finding in homes, offices, rental properties, workshops, schools, healthcare estates, and construction site cabins. Useful for pre-use checks on temporary power systems, confirming earth presence before connecting tools, and verifying that 30 mA RCD protection operates within expected times.
Also known as:
Mains safety tester, socket wiring tester, RCD testing tool, plug-in outlet tester, socket checker, mains outlet polarity tester, RCD socket checker.
