Leperflesh posted:This doesn't make sense to me. How can one "side" of an incomplete circuit be hot and the other side not? An incomplete circuit is incomplete. I'm not sure about all the rest, but the bolded bit is definitely the case. Think of it like lightning falling out of a cloud, then leaping back, 120/240 times a second until the connection breaks. And nobody cares about DPST switches on appliances when SPST costs half as much and renders the thing just as safe.

Zopotantor posted:This guy either does not know what he has there, or he was purposely misleading. Not once did he use the words "phase tester", which is what these things are (and all that they're usable for): distinguishing the live and neutral wires. You'll notice that when he demonstrates the devices "not working", he never moves them to the second terminal to confirm that they also show nothing there. I found myself pretty annoyed that he wasn't at all explaining the difference between the times when it worked and the times when it didn't. Wikipedia is not helping me out, will someone please explain how these things are supposed to work if the answer isn't "ground the hot side through your body"?
