UL GROUND RESISTANCE TESTER


UL requires that an electrical system using a metal chassis earth ground connection have a resistance of less than 0.1 ohms.  This resistance must be tested with actual line current in excess or 10 Amps.  The circuit shown uses a couple of LEDs to indicate if in fact the resistance is less than 0.1 ohms.  It uses a modified transformer to produce a 2.5vac output with at least 10 Amps of supply current.
