    Reason for testing Live Neutral to Earth

    Hi guys Just wanted some help in finding out the exact reason in why we test Live Neutral to Earth in lighting circuits. I understand it in case any loads are still connected and to not damage sensitive equipment but why does it damage it? Would testing Live- Neutral on 230v still damage it...
