Grounding the Metal Box
What Makes a Good Ground?
Grounding provides a degree of protection against lightning and induced transients
for any piece of electronic equipment that may, due to lightning or static discharge,
experience permanent or general malfunctions. The ideal
ground
is considered to be
a
unified earth ground
in which an 8-foot copper-clad rod, located close to the existing
power and telephone ground rods, is sunk several feet into the earth. Appropriate
hardware and clamps are then used to electrically connect each of these rods
together and then to the ground terminal of the device to be protected.
