Having properly wired and functioning electrical sockets in your home is crucial for both convenience and safety. However, sockets can deteriorate over time or be incorrectly wired in the first place. Testing them regularly with a socket tester allows you to identify and resolve any wiring issues before they become dangerous.

What Does a Socket Tester Do?
A socket tester is a compact, plug-in device that analyses the wiring of a mains electrical socket. Once inserted into the socket, its internal microprocessor checks for common wiring faults and displays the results through a series of LED lights and audible alerts.
The key things a socket tester checks are:
- Continuity – Current can flow properly through the live, neutral and earth wires
- Polarity – Live and neutral connections are wired to the correct terminals
- Earth faults – Missing or incorrect earth wire connection
- Resistance – How easily electrical current flows to earth (high resistance causes safety issues)
While a socket tester provides a quick wiring safety check, more advanced electrical testing equipment like a multimeter can detect less common faults too.
Why Test Electrical Sockets?
There are two important reasons to periodically test your home’s electrical sockets:
1. Check Existing Workmanship
When sockets are first installed, there may be wiring errors even if completed by a qualified electrician. Testing straight after new installations or alterations provides peace of mind that sockets function properly.
2. Identify Developing Faults
Over months and years of use, sockets experience natural wear and tear. Environmental conditions, electrical surges, vibration and accidental damage can also contribute to wiring faults developing over time. Testing allows you to identify and repair any socket issues before they escalate into safety hazards or cause appliance failures.
How to Use a Plug-In Socket Tester
Testing sockets is a quick and simple process thanks to compact, plug-in testers:
Step | Description |
---|---|
1 | Turn off the socket’s power at the consumer unit |
2 | Unplug any other devices using the socket |
3 | Insert the socket tester fully into the socket |
4 | Turn the socket’s power back on at the consumer unit |
5 | Check the tester’s LED display and listen for alert sounds |
6 | Consult the user guide to understand fault indications |
Tip: Repeat steps 1-6 to test all your home’s sockets systematically.
What Do the Lights and Sounds Mean?
Socket testers indicate wiring issues and electrical faults through various illuminated LED sequences, often paired with audible alerts.
Typical display meanings include:
- Green only = Socket correctly wired
- Red flashing = Fault detected – check user guide for specifics
- No lights = No power to the socket
Refer to your model’s included instructions to interpret the exact fault each light sequence represents. Some testers also estimate fault locations, show earth loop resistance readings or test RCD functionality.
