Love to see them find the berlingo in the "IEE Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment "
But then again the the vehicle is "portable" (its got wheels on)
Not quite sure which part of the Code of Practice it would come under mind you, I would say that I would be vary cautious of letting some PAT testers anywhere near a Berlingo, I wouldnt like to say if the ECU was designed for the insulation test amongst others. I'd like to think it was but who knows ?
I'd personally like to know that the body of the vehicle is earthed mind you when its connected to the mains.
