Frequently Asked Questions
What is a polarity and phase rotation test record?
A polarity and phase rotation test record documents verification that all single-phase circuits have correct polarity (line through switch, correct socket pin connections) and three-phase circuits have correct phase sequence (L1-L2-L3) per BS 7671 Part 6 and IEC 60364-6.
What should a polarity test record include?
Key fields include circuit reference, test type, phase sequence confirmation, single-phase polarity (line-switch-load), socket centre-pin polarity, emergency switch polarity, motor rotation direction, neutral position verification, and test instrument details.
Why is correct polarity and phase sequence important?
Incorrect polarity means switches may disconnect neutral instead of line, leaving exposed conductors live. Incorrect phase sequence causes three-phase motors to run backwards, potentially damaging driven equipment. BS 7671 Regulation 612.6 requires polarity verification on every circuit during initial verification.
