Abstract
A processor-based device includes a chassis having a chassis ground node that is arranged to electrically couple the chassis to an earth ground. The device also includes a connector accessible from an exterior of the chassis. The connector conforms to a standardized powerline interface having a hot power signal, a load power signal, and a neutral power signal. A processor-based apparatus housed at least in part within the chassis is arranged to operate using DC power derived from AC power present at the powerline interface. A stray voltage detector is arranged to detect a stray voltage potential existing between the neutral power signal of the standardized powerline interface and the chassis ground node, and the processor-based device is arranged to communicate at least one indication of the detected stray voltage potential.
