If you have more than one ESD coat, that\u2019s fine. But the copper grid has to make contact or be electrically conductive to the final ESD coating. If you\u2019d like to connect the copper grid to the earthing, 3rd wire ground, or a grounding rod, that\u2019s fine. Just make sure your flooring is properly bonded to a path to ground and be sure that all grounding sources are less than 1 \u03a9 AC per ANSI\/ESD S6.1-2005 7.2.1.1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: How do we do the copper mesh earthing in case of an Epoxy Floor?
