The Standard AS/NZS 3760 covers testing of both 240 and 415 volt electrical equipment, and requires that a range of tests be carried out on the equipment, including, earthing continuity insulation resistance leakage current. Note: Tests performed on 415 volt electrical equipment will require the use of test equipment appropriate to the task. Most Portable Appliance Testers (PATs) are specifically designed to perform tests on 240 volt electrical equipment; therefore they cannot be used to perform tests on 415 volt three-phase electrical equipment.
