Hello,
I am, like many human beings, interested in staying alive while using my equipment and avoiding lawsuits from the other people who use it as well. I understand that the primary means of ensuring equipment safety is to have a solid mains earth point connected to the chassis and any metal components throughout the system, and minimize the potential for shorts to chassis. Is it enough to wire the earth pin of the IEC mains to a large bolt? How can I confirm that equipment is 100% safe?
