On doing a dead test on earth to live on the...

    Which voltage tester?

    I will start by apologising to @westward10 as he will have had to take time out to move this thread to the correct section. I am terrible at putting my threads in the right section and westward always moves them to the correct location. This time I did actually look... and look... and look...

    Voltage tester question

    If you used a voltage tester to touch L-E does it allow the 230V to actually flow to earth or does it use a smarter means of calculating voltage without requiring a current to pass? In theory, could you damage a connected item downstream?

    Recommendations for voltage tester with proving unit

    Hi everyone, Which proving unit kit would you recommend? Obviously would be better to don't spend a fortune. Kewtech, Megger, Fluke o Martindale? Thanks

    Voltage tester with LCD and spring loaded sheaths

    My cheap and cheerful voltage tester packed up just before Christmas, so need to replace it (It lasted longer than the more expensive one I had before that broke at the cable joint to the second probe). As we know, GS38 tips can be a pain, so I normally keep them off so that I can actually test...

    Recommended voltage tester?

    I have a Martindale VT12 voltage tester which is OK, but very quickly I discovered the continuity function is a right PITA. Test for volts on the neutral and it lights up and squeals at you! Takes a moment to realise it is the continuity LED that has lit, and the squeal is slightly different...

    Verifying your non contact voltage tester, the American way.

    I just saw this on r/electricians, which is an electricians subreddit but is populated mostly from guys from the US. I have to say, I appreciate Fluke's warnings : electricians - https://www.reddit.com/r/electricians/comments/b1rv6w/i_have_to_say_i_appreciate_flukes_warnings/eins6m5/ My mind...

    Voltage Tester

    I've done a search on above, but doesn't appear to be many recent posts. What make of voltage tester are you using. I have Dilog Combivolt, the lead from the main body has become exposed. Not very good with less than two years of service. Anything more robust?
