Abstract
Ground-test device operating intermittently for brief periods of time to limit the current entering the ground system. The circuit itself, on the occurrence of a predesignated event in other circuitry, may initiate the tests for ground. The circuit disconnects itself from ground between tests. The device also develops an indication when the wiring from the source of a.c. power suffers from reversed polarity.
