EP5991 Phase Tester, RCD Trip Test (10A/16A), Line Polarity Detection, 250V/30mA
This phase tester detects line polarity and tests RCD (residual current device) trip functionality with selectable 10A or 16A test current. Rated at 250V, 50/60Hz, 30mA. Housed in a white ABS case with nickel-plated 1.5mm thick plug pins. Essential for electricians verifying socket wiring and safety device operation.
Specifications
RCD Trip Test
Product Description
Dual-Function for Electrical Safety Verification: This tester combines two critical functions: line polarity checking and RCD trip testing. It identifies common wiring faults including open neutral, open live, reverse polarity, and missing earth – allowing electricians to quickly certify new installations or troubleshoot existing circuits.
Selectable RCD Trip Current (10A/16A): The built-in RCD test function verifies that residual current devices trip within specified limits. Switch between 10A and 16A test currents to match different RCD ratings commonly found in residential and light commercial panels. A successful test confirms that the safety device will disconnect power during a fault condition.
Compact and Lightweight for Field Use: Measuring only 58*52*45mm and weighing 28.3g, this tester fits easily into any tool pouch or pocket. The white ABS housing provides impact resistance, while the nickel-plated Q235 plug pins ensure reliable electrical contact without bending during repeated use.
Visual Indication of Wiring Condition: LED indicators on the panel provide immediate, clear feedback on wiring status. Electricians can quickly scan and identify faults without needing a separate multimeter – a practical time-saver when inspecting multiple outlets in commercial buildings, rental properties, or renovation sites.
Rated for Standard Electrical Systems: Designed for 250V AC, 50/60Hz systems with a maximum test current of 30mA. Compatible with most household and light industrial socket outlets in regions using European-style plugs. The plug blade geometry suits standard socket recesses.
