Spotlight Product: PCE Test Plugs Sockets - A Testing Time of Year

January is a testing time of year for the events world. With kit back in the workshop and fewer shows in the diary, it’s the ideal window to inspect, test and refurb distribution and cabling — so everything goes back out confidently when the season kicks off.

That’s exactly where the PCE 3-phase test plug and socket range comes into its own, a practical set of tools designed to support safe, repeatable checks on 3-phase systems without bodging together temporary solutions.

The Range at a Glance

Quick “Wired Correctly?” Indication

PCE 9434152 and PCE 9434252
These are test plugs with LED indication to give a fast visual confirmation on wiring status — perfect for quick checks when you want an immediate steer before moving on to deeper fault-finding.

Clamp Meter Testing

PCE 9434150 / 9434250
PCE 9434151 / 9434251
These 16A and 32A options are designed for use with a clamp meter, ideal for workshop testing where you want to measure and verify behaviour under test conditions in a controlled, repeatable way.

They’re available with or without LED field rotation (phase rotation) check, depending on how far you want to go with your standard inspection process.

Why Events Teams Like These in the “Quiet Months”

In a busy season, problems get “worked around”. In January, you can actually fix them properly and these testers help you do that quickly and consistently.

They’re a solid fit for:

• Routine inspection and refurbishment of 3-phase event power kit
• Faster fault finding on returns or intermittent issues
• Confirming phase rotation where it matters (motors, certain equipment, site standards)
• Keeping testing methods tidy and repeatable across the team

Workshop-Ready, Season-Proof

If your customers are servicing distros, extensions and 3-phase assemblies over January and February, the PCE test range is the sort of small investment that saves time, reduces uncertainty, and helps kit go back out ready for the next call time.
