What is the working principle of a pen tester. The voltage is present in three phases but the pen tester is not giving indication in one phase . Why?

Please put more than just "electrical" in the title. It gets hard to figure which thread is which.

Use one only to detect the presence of voltage.
Do not use one to perform troubleshooting.
