- Page 5 “It should be impressed on all personnel that a lethal potential can exist between the station ground and a remote ground if a system fault involving the station ground occurs while tests are being made. Since one of the objects of tests on a station ground is the establishment of the location of an effectively remote point for both current and potential electrodes, the leads to the electrodes must be treated as though a possible potential could exist between these test leads and any point on the station ground...
