1. A ground current detection apparatus comprising:

  • a first input in signal communication with an earth ground connection;

    a second input in signal communication with a ground line of a power source, the second input comprising a power plug configured to couple to the power source; and

    a detection circuit communicatively coupled to the first input and the second input, which receives a ground signal from the second input, and determines whether a value of a current of the ground signal is above a threshold value, based on the earth ground connection, and provides an indication to a user responsive to determining that the value of the current of the ground signal is above the threshold value.
