[QUOTE="phil d, post: 449386, member: 27126"] A low current test is used to avoid tripping RCD's on the circuit, normally they are done using 3 leads, however a 2 lead test is usually performed at light switches, for example, where quite often there is no neutral As far as I'm aware on a 3 lead test the meter also checks to make sure that there is only a voltage on the live conductor, not on the neutral or earth, I know my meter will not perform any live test if it detects anything more than about 10 volts sat on either the neutral or earth conductors.
