When you carry out an insulation test....
THE APPLIANCE MUST BE SWITCHED ON!!!!!!
Otherwise the insulation is only tested as far as the switch....

PAT tests...
Yes, Seamus, the power switch must be 'on', but that does not mean it gets 'powered-up' and 'functionally tested', it just gets a few microamperes at 500v DC up it.......
The principal reason for PAT testing seems (to me) to be to raise revenue for the Government by providing another ever-increasing pile of paperwork to be chased by civil servants, and more compulsory training to be administered by their 'quango's.....
