A standard circuit breaker will sometimes (but not necessarily) trip in such a situation because the amperage exceeds the rating for that breaker. A ground fault interrupt breaker will invariably trip because the amperage on one side of the circuit significantly exceeds the amount returning on the other side of the circuit.

When carrying out an Insulation test on a Class 2 appliance the reading is taken between which points?

When carrying out an insulation test on a Class 2 appliance, the reading is typically taken between the live parts and the earth (ground) connection. Since Class 2 appliances are double insulated and do not have a protective earth, the test is often performed between the live conductor and the enclosure or accessible conductive parts of the appliance. This ensures that the insulation is adequate to prevent electrical shock hazards.

When you test the outlet you get no current between power and neutral but you get it between power and ground?

There is an open circuit on neutral. You should have power between hot and neutral, as well as between hot and ground. Note well, however, that you should not pull any power between hot and ground, because ground is not intended to be a current carrying conductor - it is only there as a protective earth ground in the case of fault. You can not easily tell, at the outlet, if neutral and ground is reversed - you need to pull a load and then double check with a clamp on ammeter at the distribution panel.


What if you test the ground terminal with live conductor?

If you touch the live conductor to ground terminal, it results into a severe earth fault between ground and live, drawing huge fault curent. The protective devices if connected in the system, will trip offf. It is extremely dangerous to do so intentionally. Avoid this at all costs.
