Hello, I was checking AC induction motor and when its running, I took voltage tester and touched unpainted parts, shaft and bolt of motor the tester bulb lightened up showing current I think?
I reversed wires in socket but same result, then I touched tester and checked bare footed or by contacting floor with foot or hand the light of tester gone dark, does that mean the motor is faulty or can cause shock or what? I checked 2 new motors but same...
any help, I would be thankful!

Are the motors properly Grounded?


Also DO NOT TEST STUFF WITH YOUR BARE FOOT ON THE FLOOR AND YOUR HAND TOUCHING LIVE STUFF , You can kill yourself,,,remember "DEATH IS PERMANENT"

If you're not a fully trained electrician you should call one and pay him top dollar to fix your problem.

The finger to "Barefoot" tester will give you most accurate readings if there is a voltage or current present.

No worries, I do it all the time. It has never affected me.
