A252 Portable Appliance Tester TEST PROCEDURES
WARNING
• The high current of the Earth Test will cause a certain amount of self-heating, particularly if using the
25A circuit, to both the appliance wiring and the test circuitry. To keep this within acceptable limits and
prevent overheating, do not apply an Earth Test for more than 5 seconds and do not apply more than
two tests in any one minute period.
NOTE
• Where exposed metal parts do not form part of a continuous surface with all other exposed metal the
test must be repeated with the earth clip attached to each exposed metal surface in turn.
