ESD Floor (Tiles & Epoxy Floor) Grounding Method

[SarbanR]

Hello All,

We have installed ESD dissipative tiles in the new plant, and a separate ESD and electrical earth pit has been installed outside the factory.

Currently, we have connected the ESD earth pit to the ESD flooring copper strips using a grounding cable. However, there is a risk of wear and tear of these copper strips, which may lead to disconnection over time.

We request your support to confirm whether the floor grounding method/process we are currently following is correct.

Kindly review and advise if any corrections are required. Also, please suggest the best method for ESD floor grounding to prevent disconnection issues.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Greetings from India to all .
I suggest the below mentioned procedure to my customers here in India in which case the floor will be connected at multiple points to the Bus strip of the ESD earth which is further connected to the equipment ground .

This way you will have multiple points to check the Rtg from any point on the floor and further multiple connections to the bus strip ensures guarantee of the ESD safe floor connected to the ESD ground at one or the other point in case of any disconnection at one point .
I hope this information may be of some assistance to you
