The range will be reduced when the conductors
are twisted around each other.
To reduce this effect, the circuit should be
connected as in figure 17. This circuit tests
only a single conductor at a time.
The potential distance in this circuit will be
up to 2.5 metres.
If the transmitter is connected across the phase and neutral the signal will be
attenuated reducing sensitivity (see figure 16)
