PAT Testing and the Pitfalls

21/01/2014 • General

This week’s speaker at the club needs no introduction, being our very own Dennis Goacher, G3LLZ. I am sure we are all aware of Dennis’ vast, in-depth knowledge in the world of electronics and his willingness to offer help and advice when asked.

Dennis has kindly agreed to share some of his knowledge with us this week on the subject of PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) and the pitfalls associated with it. This is a subject most of us would have heard of through our work, but perhaps know little about. Dennis will no doubt deliver an excellent presentation on this subject, perhaps with a few horror stories from some of the more dubious appliances he has encountered during his career.

Please join us at Pine Trees on Thursday 23rd January from 7pm to listen to what is sure to be a very informative talk.
