A permanently mounted AC powered control/display unit and a remote sensor for use in measuring ground resistance. The sensor is permanently mounted around the earth grounding cable. The control display unit generates a 1953 Hz, 5 Vac sine wave which is sent via a cable to a 100:1 ratio drive transformer in the remote sensor. The transformer induces a 0.05 Vac sine wave in the ground cable. The resulting current is detected by a 100:1 turns ratio sense transformer. The current is returned via the cable to the control display unit and converted to a voltage, filtered, amplified and rectified by a synchronous rectifier. The rectified voltage is again filtered and presented to an analog to digital converter. A microprocessor reads the output of the analog to digital converter and the ground resistance is computed by using Ohm's Law (R=E/I), the result being shown on a display.
