Hello experts,

 

Does anyone know of an off-the-shelf product for detecting the presence of
an Earth connection on an incoming AC supply?

 

There are plenty of ways of detecting earth fault currents like RCDs and
GFCIs but I seem to be hitting a block finding something that explicitly
monitors the Earth connection.

 

I've seen simple circuits that claim to do this, but primarily I'm looking
for an off the shelf item.

 

If there's one out there that controls a relay to switch the AC mains off if
the Earth is disconnected then I am super interested.

 

Thanks in advance

James
