Phase and PE conductors have been
reversed
Figure 7: Lamp L2 only lights up. Touching the touch electrode
has no effect.
This fault configuration is indicated when the testing device
has been incorrectly inserted.
The phase conductor is connected to the earthing contact!
No protective earth, phase conductor
connected to earthing contact
Figure 8: The lamps N, L1 and L2 light up. GL1 lights up when
the touch electrode is touched.
This is a typical fault with older installations with classic 'pro-
tective multiple earthing', if the phase and protective earth
conductors have been reversed.
The phase conductor is connected to the earthing contact!
