1.0 Introduction
The PAC-3P is a portable, battery powered 3 phase stand-alone test instrument for
performing earth continuity and earth leakage current tests as required by AS/NZS 3760,
including:
Earth continuity @ 200mA
Leakage Current Test – Mains-powered
The unit conducts a sequence test, starting with an earth continuity test and then proceeding
with the leakage test. It indicates Pass/Fail and the actual measured readings on the LCD
display and provides on-screen user prompts. It includes safety features such as preventing
a leakage current test in event of a failed earth continuity test result. 20A and 32A extension
lead test adaptor is included with an earth test pin terminal, which eliminates the need for
probing of the extension lead earth.

4.0 Safety
In order to ensure safe operation of this instrument, all WARNING and CAUTIONS must be
observed at all times.
CAUTIONS
The PAC-3P is intended for use in a dry environment only
The PAC-3P BLACK earth clamp must always be used to provide earth continuity.
Check the PAC-3P and all associated cables and leads and appliance/lead under test
before conducting each test. Do not use if there are signs of damage.
When safe operation of the PAC-3P is no longer possible it should be immediately shut
down and secured to prevent accidental operation.
It must be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible:
•if the instrument or leads show visible signs of damage or
•the instrument does not function or
•after long periods of storage under adverse environmental condition
WARNINGS
If the test equipment is used in a manner not specified in this user manual, the
protection provided by the equipment could be impaired.
Read this user manual carefully, otherwise the use of the instrument may be
dangerous for the operator, the instrument or for the equipment under test.
Consider all generally known precautions in order to avoid risk of electric shock when
dealing with hazardous voltages.
Do not use the instrument in supply systems with voltages higher than 550V.
Do not open unit, no other user serviceable parts.
Hazardous voltages exist inside the instrument. Disconnect all test leads, remove the
power supply cable and switch off the instrument before replacing batteries
Always ensure that the appliance or lead under test is electrically isolated
High voltages are present at the L1, L2 and L3 terminals when connected to the
mains. Always use the adaptor provided to test extension leads, do not use the
“probing” method.
Do not touch any exposed metal parts of the PAC-3P during testing.
Do not leave the PAC-3P permanently connected to the mains. Always disconnect all
test leads immediately after use.

7.0 Using the PAC-3P Leakage Tester
7.1 Power On PAC-3P Tester
To turn the PAC-3P on, switch the power button (Figure 1 – No 9) to the ON position.
NOTE: The LCD screen will light up when unit is on.
NOTE: If battery is indicated as low, please change or replace with new batteries.
7.2 Preliminary Electrical Safety Check
Always ensure that the appliance or lead under test is electrically isolated
7.3 Earth Continuity & Leakage Current Measurements
WARNINGS
For leakage current measurement, the equipment rating to be measured shall NOT exceed:
•For 3-phase 20A plug and socket: 415V/20A
•For 3-phase 32A plug and socket: 415V/32A
7.3.1 Testing 3-Phase APPLIANCES
Procedure:
1) Plug the 3-phase appliance under test into one of the PAC-3P sockets (20A or 32A).
9
2) Clip earth clamp to exposed metal of your 3-phase appliance.
3) Check that PAC-3P is switched ON (Figure 1 – Button 9).
4) Please use the “SELECT” button until “GO: APPLIANCE TEST” is selected on
screen.
5) Press “GO” to confirm.
6) Press “GO” – The PAC-3P will check earth continuity (Rpe < 1Ωis a PASS).
7) Press “SELECT” – If Rpe = PASS it will continue to the next stage of testing.
If Rpe = FAIL the PAC-3P will exit the testing procedure.
NOTE: If the Rpe has failed please check and verify your earth clamp connection.
8) Connect the PAC-3P mains plug (20A or 32A, depending on which test socket you
are using) to an appropriate 3-phase power supply.
NOTE: Do NOT press “SELECT”, unless you want to exit the test.
10
9) When MAINS is connected, the following message will appear on-screen.
10)Press “GO” to proceed with current leakage measurement.
11)After a few seconds, the measurement will be displayed on screen and indicate
whether it is a PASS or FAIL.
12)Turn off the 3 Phase mains supply and then safely disconnect the PAC-3P from the 3
Phase mains socket.
13)Record the reading in your logbook or on your logging tester.
For PrimeTest 300, refer to Section 7.4.
14)Press: “SELECT” to exit to the main menu.
