Grounding ribbon for flooring.
All adhesives provide reliable anchoring of the flooring as well as a equiplane of fairly high permanent conductivity typical between 1 0e02 and 1 0e04 allowing equalization of electrostatic potential for subsequent elimination via ground straps placed into the adhesive and beneath the esd floors.
If the floor will be installed on grade or below grade a copper grounding rod can be driven into the ground creating an earth ground for the floor.
Step 1 drive the 4 to 6 foot rod into the ground until only 2 or 3 inches of the rod remains exposed.
The three most widely used procedures are described below.
Grounding esd static control flooring several acceptable methods are used to ground static control flooring depending on local codes the job conditions and the personal preference of the contractor.
Raised floor grounding requirements.
More flexible than wire and ribbon this braid is suitable for use in tight spaces.
Braid with eyelets can be cut to length and mounted without terminating so its good for applications that require the braid to be looped from ground point to ground point with no breaks.
Rod is driven into the ground until only 2 or 3 inches of the rod remains exposed from the floor.
It can be completed when the.
Grounding your esd floor.
The way it works.
Affixing the copper grounding strap to the floor tile or static control floor coating.
Your goal when grounding any esd floor is.
The electrostatic charge flows up the strip placed on the wall through the metal face plate cover and to the buildings electrical ground system via the center screw of the ac electrical face plate cover.
Ground creating an earth ground for the conductive adhesive plate.
The exposed end of the copper grounding strip provided by vpi with the flooring is secured to the rod using a grounding clamp this is.
