Default How to ground electric outlets over a slab?

For real science read the IEEE and NIST guides. Both say plug-in
suppressors are effective.


Page 42 Figure 8 - a plug-in protector doing the only thing it can
do. Earth a surge 8000 volts destructively through an adjacent TV.
So where is that plug-in spec that claims protection? No plug-in
protector - not one - will claim that protection. bud will post
anything to avoid that reality.

A protector is only as effective as its earth ground which is why
telcos all over the world waste no money on bud's products. Which
explains why the US Air Force wants their protectors as close to earth
ground as it practicable. Which is why Sun Microsystems recommends
earthed protectors - not plug-in protectors.

Even Norma saw the fire threat from plug-in protectors. So bud
called her a liar:
Today, the cable company came to replace a wire. Well the cable
man pulled a wire and somehow yanked loose their "ground" wire.
The granddaughter on the computer yelled and ran because sparks
and smoke were coming from the power surge strip.


A protector is only as effective as its earth ground. Where is that
plug-in protector spec that claims protection? Nobody in the world
has found even one. bud whose job it to promote this scam cannot even
find one spec. Of course. No earth ground means no effective
protection. But it sure can fail.

bud will reply incessantly. If he gets the last post, then he has
again protected his scam. He even recommends connecting three wire
protectors on two wire circuits. The OPs questions were never
relevant to him. bud fears you might learn what engineers have long
understood about his products.
