Hello!
As I am about to perform another maintenance of my laptop's cooling system, I decided to buy an anti-static wristband to protect the electronic systems of the device from damage. On various forums, I have met with many tips on how to use such a band.
The following ways to connect it have been suggested:
- to the radiator - I have a PEX pipe installation, so does this connection make any sense?
- to the elements of the metal installation - only gas is led through metal pipes - can you connect a clamp to gas pipes? Are they grounding - relatively shallow-laid pipes.
- to the protective pin in the socket - I do not know what to think about it, I have an installation in the TN-S system
- you can connect the band to the metal housing of the serviced device, equalizing the potentials without grounding - but does such a connection eliminate the problem? Can I be sure that I eliminate potential differences between me and each of the device's components? In addition, the laptop housing and many of its elements are made of plastic, so there is no special place to connect the bands.
I would be grateful if someone familiar with the topic advised me on how to connect the antistatic wristband to protect the device being repaired and at the same time ensure my own safety.
