Ground Inspection
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits. Ground connections are often exposed to moisture,
dirt and other corrosive elements. The corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground can drastically affect an electronically controlled
circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
-
Remove the ground bolt or screw.
