I do not recall using the word dumped. Fault currents need to be routed to safety earth and for this reason chassis needs to be connected to safety earth. I agree electrostatic interference does indeed rely on screens and chassis acting as equipotentials.abbey road d enfer said:We have a very different conception here of what earthing does. Indeed voltages created by electrostatic fields are "dumped" to earth. Actually they are not, they are prevented to develop by the equipotential surface.
