>WARNING! The statement W5QD just posted is completely false! The ESD mat must be grounded in order for it to be able to dissipate an electrical charge. If you don't ground the mat, then you might as well not have it, since your entire work area could very easily be floating at tens of thousands of volts above ground, just waiting for "somewhere" to discharge "to" and "something" to discharge "through"! <
Carefully reread what I posted, please. Don clarifies it too... 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/OT-Grounding-Mat-tp4795139p4795538.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
