if the aircraft is the standard aluminum airframe. any power ground should be less than 1 Ohm. A digital multimeter is best for the novice. for more serious applications a mega-ohm meter should be used. but be careful, most of this meters output more that 600 Volts.

∙ 14y agoA good way to check the continuity of a ground wire in the electrical system is to measure the voltage from the "hot" wire to ground. This voltage should read the same as what you would read from "hot" to neutral. The reasoning for this is because the neutral and the ground are bonded together at the distribution panel main breaker enclosure. If the neutral was not connected you would either not get a voltage reading at all or you would get a reading of a lower voltage that you would expect due to resistance in the circuit.

Is the voltage on a 120 volt fluorescent lighting circuit the same from line to neutral and line to ground?
Yes, to the precision you can measure it. If it isn't you need to check the ground to neutral bonding at main panel and check the wiring in the circuit for loose connections.
What is ground roll?
The distance the aircraft travels on the ground before lifting off, or the same when landing.
Is megger testing a dc applied voltage to a circuit to check a short within a path of the wiring?
Usually a megaohmeter (or megger) is used to test high current feeder wires for ground faults before they are landed on a transformer.
What is the voltage used for megger check of aircraft looms?
I did them with a 1,000 volt megger .
What happens when a circuit is not provided with a ground?
the answer is not a lot as long as the circuit of any appliance is not damaged the ground is not in use.The ground wire is a safety it takes stray electricity away from faulty devices and into the ground.All houses and buildings should be wired with a ground wire.the ground wire is a yellow/green coloured wire and is not actually connected to any power it is normally connected through the house wiring to a rod driven into the ground outside the house so if something fails the stray current takes the easiest route which is to the ground rod and in this way safeguard's from electrocution and fires i hope this helped i am not an electrician If you have any doubts about an answer that you get, check the answerer's bio by clicking on their name to check their qualifications.
