Seaward Electronic product story

Oct 30, 2008
Seaward has introduced the Powerplus 1557 Powersolution package for 17th edition fixed installation inspection and testing.
This eliminates the need for a multi-function test instrument and separate paper or PDA recording device normally associated with 17th edition test procedures.
Powerplus 1557
The lightweight Powerplus 1557 multifunction tester has been designed for maximum portability and ease-of-use.
An onboard electronic certificate software enables test data to be recorded directly by the tester using a replica of the inspection and test certificate, which is displayed on the instrument.
When measured values are required, the appropriate measurement function is automatically enabled and results are automatically placed in the correct certificate fields.
Once all inspection and test data has been collected, the onboard Seaward Certificate Assistant scans the certificate and warns the user if any fields are incomplete or invalid.
The certificate assistance also holds commonly used tabulated values, such as earth loop impedance tables, removing the need for bulky books.
When inspection and testing is complete, the certificate held inside the Powerplus 1557 tester can be transferred to the accompanying PC software for printing or to be supplied in electronic format to customers in line with the 17th edition wiring regulations.
The Powersolution package eliminates the time-consuming practice of recording results on paper or a PDA for separate entry onto the certificate.
Included in the test specifications is: a non-trip loop test; a high current loop test; a line impedance test; PFC and PSC tests; automatic RCD testing; an earth continuity test; 100V, 250V, 500V and 1000V insulation tests; and voltage, frequency and phase rotation measurements.
An optional remote probe with built-in test button is provided for tricky three-handed operation.
The instrument incorporates USB and Bluetooth technology.
A variety of certificate templates can be loaded into the tester using the accompanying Powerplus PC software.
The software program includes all required 17th edition certification.
It can print onto ECA, NAPIT and NICEIC stationery.
