  2. Antistatic device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antistatic_device

    It is important to discharge at a slow rate, therefore a resistor should be used in grounding the mat. The resistor, as well as allowing high-voltage charges to leak through to ground, also prevents a shock hazard when working with low-voltage parts. Some ground mats allow one to connect an antistatic wrist strap to them. Versions are designed ...

  3. Ground (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_(electricity)

    Lightning protection systems are designed to mitigate the effects of lightning through connection to extensive grounding systems that provide a large surface area connection to earth. The large area is required to dissipate the high current of a lightning strike without damaging the system conductors by excess heat.

  4. Earthing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system

    System earthing serves a purpose of electrical safety throughout the system that is not caused by a short circuit or other electrical fault.It prevents static buildup and helps protect (as part of a surge protection system) against power surges caused by nearby lightning strikes or switching.

    Symbol for an ESD protection device – EPA Alternate warning symbol Symbol of an ESD grounding point for all components. An electrostatic-sensitive device (often abbreviated ESD) is any component (primarily electrical) which can be damaged by common static charges which build up on people, tools, and other non-conductors or semiconductors.

  6. Ground loop (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_loop_(electricity)

    A ground loop is caused by the interconnection of electrical devices that results in multiple paths to ground, thereby forming closed conductive loops through the ground connections. A common example is two electrical devices each connected to a mains power outlet by a three-conductor cable and plug containing a protective ground conductor for ...

  7. Electrostatic discharge materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_discharge...

    Insulative materials prevent or limit the flow of electrons across their surface or through their volume. Insulative materials have a high electrical resistance and are difficult to ground, thus are not ESD materials. Static charges remain in place on these materials for a very long time.
