Ground loop locator
Abstract
Described is a ground loop locator. A readout on the ground loop locator indicates the presence of a ground loop when a ground loop exists in conductors linked by a current transformer of an exciter portion and a Rogowski coil of a detector portion. Also described are how to make and use the ground loop locator and methods of use for the ground loop locator.
