Hello,

Does anyone know whether or not the TASCO Inspector II Line Load Simulator is effective for testing the grounds in receptacles.

$95.04,Tasco Inc. Inspector II Model INS120G Load Simulator & The Inspector - the original tester. Condition is Used.Pay full listed price and get BOTH Inspector II in its original case AND "The Ins

It comes with a ground impedance test. I have had it for about 15 - years but unsure of the validity of it's readings. I do not know anything about the technology.

I have a customer that lost some electronics and light bulbs during a bad storm yesterday and I would like to check the grounds out real good.

Thank you....

What difference would a good ground have versus a bad ground make?

What difference would a good ground have versus a bad ground make?

Good question. If memory serves me well, from former Duke Energy engineer, lightning researcher, and expert Chuck Jensen, when a surge hits a building or something the voltage increases and then drops back down again. If everything in the building is connected well with a good grounding system then relatively speaking nothing in theory gets damaged. Everything seems to ride the high voltage wave. However, if something is not well connected to this grounding system then a capacitive affect occurs and the poorly grounded component takes on a much higher jolt. This is my probably flawed understanding of the theory.

Of course as soon as I saw your question I had to look it up on the internet. Here's an interesting website.
