Grounding strap EB1, self-adhesive | grounding of shielding paint, shielding netting oder shielding fleece | 10 meters in length

Grounding strap EB1, self-adhesive with electrically conductive adhesive for grounding electrically conductive surfaces.

This grounding tape is based on our shielding fabric HNV80 and has been converted to a high-performance self-adhesive grounding tape with electrically conductive glue. Due to the use of HNV80 as a basis, the grounding tape contain also a screen attenuation of 80 dB against high-frequency radio radiation. Thus, this grounding tape EB1 is not only suitable for use as a grounding tape but also for shielding small cracks and can effectively bridge them.

Grounding a Faraday cage is mandatory!

The grounding of a Faraday cage is imperative. This is also a legal requirement – an electrically conductive surface must be grounded for reasons of personal safety by law. This is about the mandatory potential equalization (up to the FI circuit breaker) which results from the “requirements for protection against electric shock” and is binding in a DIN VDE regulation.

Processing of self-adhesive ground strap EB1

An electrically conductive grounding strap is an excellent way to electrically connect a shielded conductive surfaces and tracks. An alternative to the grounding strap is our additive AF3 which contains electrically conductive carbon fibers. The grounding strap is glued directly onto the processed shielding material for electrical contact. Due to the electrically conductive adhesive both is possible.

Beware of unreasonable purchase of improper or incorrect use of this grounding straps!

Even if the health risk is rather low, ultimately it’s about nothing but your own safety and in the worst case of your own life. If, for example, a grounding strap is used with conventional industrial adhesive, it acts as an insulating instead of a connecting element, and thus the shielded area remains ungrounded if the grounding strap is used incorrectly and the shielded room can become life-threatening.

This is about the problem when drilling in the electrical line or a nail is hit. Without functioning grounding or equipotential bonding, the electrical current could spread to the entire shielded area via the shank of the drill or nail. Even if the chance for it is very small, it is assumed the highest possible risk. This would be at home current 220 V at 16 A on the wall, with power much more.

The life-threatening accident happens when touching the wall surface by an electric shock. Grounding or potential equalization of shielded, conductive surfaces prevents this.
