Detects leaks
August 1st 2008 Because microwave ovens are
used so frequently, the door
seals may eventually
deteriorate, allowing
microwave emissions to leak
beyond approved limits.
Microwave oven leakage
testing is often carried out as
an adjunct to Portable
Appliance Testing (PAT).
Leaking microwaves can cause
cancer by heating the insides
of the body.
The Martindale TEK500 is
an easy to use, low cost,
pass/fail microwave leakage
detector suitable for
commercial and domestic
ovens. It includes an audible
warning device and a self test
feature, which simulates a real
microwave input to ensure the
unit is working correctly.
The detector complies with
the specification and
requirements of BS5175:1976,
Safety of Commercial Electrical
Appliances using Microwave
Energy for Heating Foodstuffs. More articles from Martindale Electric Ltd: |
