This instrument monitors the leakage current along equipment to ground and sounds an alarm when preset thresholds are exceeded. The leakage current monitor is microprocessor controlled, resulting in both flexible and user friendly operation. The prototype constructed, has been tested and found to perform very well.enCopyright Arthur de BeunLive line bare hand maintenancepower transmission circuitsleakage current monitorTheses / Dissertations
