    Testing Supply of a Fridge..

    Hi there, I was testing the supply of a fridge with a voltage indicator. I tested the incoming suppy which was fine but when I tested the terminals on the compressor it tripped out the mcb. Why would this happen if Im using a voltage indicator and not shorting anything out as such? Thanks
