Q- Why Phase tester is only used for checking AC not DC ?
Answer Posted / kunal singh dabi
A mains tester works because the potential difference
between the live and Earth makes a very small
(imperceptible) current flow through the tester and our
body to Earth. This current is just enough to light the
lamp / Neon. When you stick it in the Neutral socket, the
potential difference (just a volt or two, usually) is not
enough to give sufficient current to light the neon.When
the tester light glows, it mean electrons flow like,from
live terminal > tester > body > floor & walls of building >
inside the earth>goes back to the generator, via earth or
neutral conductor (Please note that somewhere, Neutral and
Earth are connected together so we have, in effect, a huge
loop of circuit.)
Above description is for AC supply only ( path complete
thorough earth or nutral to generator neutral), however
please note the fhilosophy is not applicable for DC supply
where - V is in floting condition (not grounded or earthed)
so due to un completation of that circuit tester light will
not glow.

When doing a liquid seal on a differential flow transmitter , most of the time the sealing liquid will be heavier then the process fluid. For wich application will the sealing liquid be lighter than the process fluid if transmitter is mounted below the process line.
