Dual earth terminals for computer circuits

[brizospark]

Noticed this on the architects notes can someone elaborate for me? thanks

the contractor should note the need for dual earth terminal blocks to be provided within DBs supplying computer power

A valid question is asked and within a few posts we are all dancing around the handbags again, alongside pulling the thread way off topic.

If anyone has anything helpful to add to the original question then please do, otherwise move on or start your own thread.

Well, I sent the op a pm advising him that dual earths could mean clean and dirty earths and/or HI earths because I realised my post and other relevant posts had got buried in all this off topic stuff.

Nice one, OC.
Let us know his response, if he can be bothered after all this!

Think OC was right about the "clean" earth, but unless we are going to fit a Rod onto Jupiter would love to know where the "clean" earth is coming from.

ezzzekiel, you insulted a respected member of this board. One who I look up to due to his experience in the law regarding industrial applications. I do fly off the handle now and again. But I think it was justified on this occasion.

You’re not backward when it comes to criticism!

 

[ezzzekiel]

I never insulted anyone i simply stated if he had nothing of value to contribute then he shouldnt (i believe you threw the insult), and it makes no difference to me how highly you look up to him, it was a valid and not very common question from the op and in my opinion should be treated as such.

Regardless though as Jason has pointed out this doesnt resolve the post and there is no further value to wasting my time on this thread, probably best to just close it as its too basic a question for anyone to lower themselves to answer eh!!

in the bigger scope of things though im not really that bothered - alls well that ends well

For a look into my former world...This is an installation guide for a piece of Cisco kit. Check out point 4 on page C-7. This is a DC box but the introduction to earthing and bonding in a computer/telco environment is well written.
