Socket Testers

Socket testers are compact, plug-in devices that analyse the wiring of a mains electrical socket. Whilst useful for basic checks, they shouldn't be relied upon as the only testing method - professional testing equipment is needed for thorough verification.

Socket testers come in three types: simple ones showing basic wiring status, advanced models with RCD trip testing capabilities, and professional versions offering detailed fault indicators. Professional electricians use them for initial checks, but also carry out additional tests with specialised equipment to ensure complete socket safety and compliance.

We stock Voltage & Continuity Testers from leading manufacturers including Dilog, Kewtech, and Megger.

Every electrician knows the importance of a reliable Socket Tester. As part of our comprehensive Test Equipment range, these indispensable tools offer a quick and easy way to verify wiring integrity and identify common faults. Use our Socket Testers alongside Voltage & Continuity Testers for initial circuit checks, complementing the more in-depth testing capabilities of our Multifunction Testers.

While a Socket Tester is a go-to for basic checks, more complex installations require specialised equipment. Our selection of Test Equipment includes Earth Ground Testers for verifying grounding integrity, EV Testing Equipment for the specific demands of electric vehicle systems, and 18th Edition Testers for compliance with the latest wiring regulations. Ensure correct phase sequencing with Phase Rotation Testers and maintain portable appliance safety with PAT Testers.

For detailed measurements, rely on our Digital Multimeters and Digital Clamp Meters, used in conjunction with reliable Test Leads. Adapt to various lighting scenarios with our Lamp Testing Adaptors and enhance safety with our Safety Isolation Kits. Document your work professionally with Electrical Installation Test Certificates.

Beyond the essentials, our Test Equipment category also includes a variety of Miscellaneous Testers for specialised tasks. Stay informed and up-to-date with our selection of IET Books.
