Abstract: A method for monitoring the line impedance of a protective earth (“PE”) conductor is provided. The method injects a small stimulus current at a frequency much higher than the grid frequency. The stimulus current circulates in the loops between a grid-connected device and a grid source, creating small voltage drops in the grid conductors, resulting in a common mode voltage which can be measured. The method then includes measuring the common mode voltage and the residual current at a point of common coupling (“PCC”). The method then includes monitoring the resistive and reactive parts of the line impedance. For example, the method can monitor the line impedance and report a broken PE conductor or a high PE resistance, beyond a given threshold where safety becomes a concern.
