I need some help, I am using a PrimeTest 350 and I am having a problem with a particular model of surge protection lead as shown on this website.
http://www.fascin8.co.uk/f8/ikasu/45-miscellaneous/166-ikasu-6-socket-surge-protector-dm076821
When I run any test for “surge protected leads” on these leads, the PrimeTest 350 gets as far as the "Insulation Test" before failing the appliance. At a point during the Insulation test the lights near the sockets on the lead flash (as in explanation "B" on the website given) the meter reads around 24Mohm and the PrimeTest fails the appliance.
I have 6 of these leads to test and exactly the same thing happens on all the leads which makes me think that it can’t be the leads.
Removing the “insulation Test” results in a pass, but I am concerned this is not an acceptable practice and won’t pass the leads until I have asked opinion from my peers (that’s you lot!).
Your help and advice will be gratefully received.
