Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally pertain to systems and methods for providing notifications of hazardous ground conditions in telecommunication equipment. A system in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a control module positioned within a chassis at a network facility. The control module communicates with a plurality of access modules through a backplane of the chassis. At least one of the modules, such as the control module, comprises a voltage sensing element, control logic, and a user interface. The voltage sensing element is configured to measure a potential voltage difference between chassis ground and digital ground and determine whether such voltage difference is hazardous. The control logic is configured to monitor the voltage sensing element and provide an alarm via the user interface when the hazardous condition is present. Accordingly, a user is notified of the hazardous condition and the likelihood of equipment damage, loss of service, and personal injury are reduced.
