Scott,
Thanks for the info on Capacitive testers. I use a Fluke probe, I always thought it worked on induction as well.
My question is, if it works on capacitance, how does it discharge so quickly when you pull it off the source. (many times I'll touch the wire and remove and replace it repeatedly to confirm that the wire is hot and it instantly goes off when pulled away from the wire)? Does the current just discharge into...where?
Thanks,
Brian
