Data record `instr.clamp-on-ground-tester.return-path`

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

The method requires the electrode under test to be one of several parallel grounds, because the induced current must return through the other ground paths; the reading treats the combined resistance of those parallel paths as negligible against the single path under test.
