5. For the grounded system, the CableSHARK switches the loop current path with the 435 ohm load

(currently off hook), from tip-ring to tip-ground. The CableSHARK measure both the ring-ground
voltage and the loop current.



The Ground Resistance measurement sequence is based on the following assumptions:

1. The ground lead of the instrument is connected reliably to the ground of the CO

2. The standard CO voltage is nominally -48 VDC. The twisted pair is connected to the CO with tip as

positive and ring as negative.

3. The grounded constant current source limits the current on the –48 V side only.
