The electric line tester is an essential tool for electricians, designed to detect the presence of electric current in a line. This device typically features a screwdriver with a hollow plastic handle that houses a neon lamp, resistance, and spring, all secured with a metal clip and screw cap. The neon lamp requires only a minimal amount of current to illuminate, allowing the tester to utilize the user's body capacitance to earth ground, effectively completing the circuit for testing. This innovative tool ensures safety and efficiency in electrical work.

Introduction • Tester is the most important tool that an electrician keep with him. It is used for testing the presence of electric current in a line. • This consist of a screw driver with a hollow plastic handle, a neon lamp, a resistance and a spring are arranged and the handle is covered by means of screw cap with a metal clip. • A neon lamp takes very little current to light, and thus can use the user's body capacitance to earth ground to complete the circuit.
