connecting to positive ground, do not ground the battery terminal, as this may bypass the internal LVD circuitry. An imbalance can also be created in. Hello, I am performing one experiment in which I am controlling the switching of Batteries via a contactor (12V) and the supply from the battery is provided to the circuit inside. During some tests due to some wire harness failure there was some short circuit in the system and the contactor got. Between the positive and negative ends of the battery is some kind of wall that prevents the electrons from diffusing, so they have to go the long way (through a wire to the other end of the battery) to diffuse and reach the receiver atoms/molecules. Multimeter is on 10A setting, and battery is only connected to positive terminal. This application note describes common methods for dc ground fault detection.
