A new diagnosis method on corrosion of grounding grids is put forward in order to improve the efficiency and precision of diagnosis. The surface magnetic induction intensities excited by the injected current were computed and the influences of the soil structUres were analyzed based on the finite element method （FEM）. A sine wave exciting current of different power frequency was injected directly into grounding grid by two ground lead wires. At the same time, the distributions of the surface magnetic induction intensities were measured based on the electromagnetic induction theorem, then the corrosion states of mesh conductor becoming thin or broken can be diagnosed. Combining the practical electromagnetic interference （EMI） enviroment in substation, a system of measuring magnetic indution intensity was designed. Experimental and practical results show that the method proposed is simple and effective, the system satisfy the testing needs and can be used in engineering practice.
