[QUOTE="Marvo, post: 545100, member: 20838"] All these test results would be as expected. As Binky said, the tester will show you the difference in voltage between the two probes. The first test is between live and neutral so you would expect the voltage difference to be 240v. The second test is between live and the metal frame which will be grounded/earthed so again you would expect to see 240v. The third test is between the ground/earth which is zero volts and the neeutral which is also at zero volts so the voltage difference between them is 0v which is what the tester showed you. [/QUOTE]
