[QUOTE="gordon mcgregor, post: 58947, member: 169"] Re: Why An Open Neutral Kills 120V Devices The reason I asked this was because I have seen these things getting used to test for safe isolation as well as ELI tests and of course when the power gets switched off the lights go out on the tester but there could still be voltage on the earth. Here's alink to the device in question [url=http://www.socketandsee.co.uk/product.asp?CategoryID=11&ProductID=164&Product=Socket]Socket and See[/url] & See PDL234 Plus Part P Loop Testing Kit these are widely used in the UK as you have to test the Earth Loop Impedence when you work on any electrical circuit, however some people use them to test for safe isolation and mis-interperate the earth fault light as meaning ONLY no earth with potentionaly bad results.
