Modern testing of appliances, power tools and welding machines
Ensure safe use of welding and electrical equipment with the Sonel PAT-96 electrical equipment safety meter.
The Sonel PAT-96 advanced meter is perfect for control measurements of welding machines and other electrical devices. The instrument allows to measure parameters having an impact on the safe use of the equipment, such as resistance of protective conductors, insulation resistance, continuity of connections, leakage currents, power, RCD and PRCD. The PAT-96 model is especially dedicated to testing welding equipment according to the EN 60974-4 standard. It allows, among other things, to check the rated voltage of welding equipment in no-load condition, the welding circuit leakage current and the primary leakage current.
The Sonel PAT-96 electrical equipment safety meter will come in handy in those areas where safety is of particular importance. Reliable wherever welders, power tools, three-phase appliances or domestic appliances need to be inspected.

Application
Sonel PAT-96 is an ideal choice for professionals involved in the maintenance and repair of power tools and other appliances. Thanks to its accurate testing, it provides a detailed analysis of the technical condition of the equipment under examination. It guarantees both the safety of users and the long-term maintenance of equipment in optimal technical condition. Developed on the basis of the experience gained, the Sonel PAT-96 tester is designed for both field and industrial challenges.
Versatility
The device is used wherever safety is the most important thing. Ideally suited to situations where it is necessary to check welders, power tools, three-phase devices and household appliances.
Welding machines
PAT-96 was created for testing welding equipment in compliance with EN 60974-4 standard.
Capabilities
Thanks to the extensive measuring part, PAT-96 enables comprehensive checking of electrical devices. The touch screen and autoprocedures section make testing quick and efficient. The automatic procedure wizard means even more flexibility for the instrument. The meter has a built-in help system.
The meter cooperates with a label printer and QR scanner, which greatly facilitates the recordkeeping of tools. The following printouts are available:
- initial measurement report,
- QR code, where, which stores unique data to identify the device in the database.
These data can be read and added to the meter memory using the optional QR code scanner.
The whole picture is complemented by a compact and durable housing. It provides instrument protection during both measurements and transport.Capabilities
Memory
The memory has a tree structure, built from folders, objects and devices. For each device tested it contains its description, location of measurements, customer data and registration number.
