ABSTRACT:
A ground integrity monitor for testing for a short circuit between two equipotential ground planes having a single common connection point includes an AC generating circuit for coupling to one of the ground planes a signal having predetermined frequency and magnitude characteristics. An AC detecting circuit coupled to the other of the ground planes is adapted to detect the AC signal within a predetermined range of magnitude and frequency. Presence of the signal on the other ground plane indicates the existence of a short circuit.
