Simple, Fast & Reliable way to check Power Tools, Extension Cords, Outlets & GFCI's, and Class I and II electrical equipment The PrimeTest 100 is a new hand-held "quality meter" that facilitates fast and reliable electrical integrity checks on almost any electrical device plugged into a wall.

The new Primetest 100 electrical safety tester is a battery powered hand held tester the designed for the fast and effective safety checking of all types of tools and portable electrical equipment used in the workplace.By verifying the electrical safety of electrical products, equipment and appliances the Primetest 100 helps employers meet their obligations under OSHA. OSHA 1910.334(a) indicates any damaged portable cord or plug connected equipment may not be used by an employee until repairs and tests necessary to render the equipment safe have been made.

In meeting these requirements, the unit has been designed for those looking for an easy to use comprehensive tester for electrical safety testing and servicing applications. The versatile tester also carries out cord polarity tests and checks that power sockets are wired correctly.

Supporting PDA-based software is also available that enables test results form the new Primetest 100 to be recorded quickly and easily, for subsequent transfer to a PC stored database or other record keeping system. The Primetest 100 forms part of a comprehensive range of electrical safety testing instrumentation and equipment provided by Seaward.
