How do we test the voltage on a mat with a copper rod buried in the earth method? Not using the ground outlet as I presume I have dirty electricity in my home

My voltage shows as 0.2 before I touch the mat. Why is it so much lower than yours?
@RobertLongM9 күн бұрын
Thank you - I tested with 2 meters and I read 0.854 on each : Is that 0.8 v ? Mine doesn't have a 200ac setting but an Auto : I'm using both a Southwire 22070T & a cheap EXTECH. Funny thing was I was worried my Laptop was causing me issues, and found out the casing is also grounded.

Notes : How to test grounding matt Connects into grounding outlet - using ions not electricity. Use multi meter. It can actually be that your multi meter doesn’t work properly. This matt wasn’t working for me before, this I bought another one a never one and it works just thin. Show you how to do this. Take it to voltage side ways voltage AC current with swigililng swinging link ~ Can test your matt - by doing this - plug into ground outlet. Touch - plug into ground outlet - now you can see my voltage is two volts, I have voltage of two volts. So black wire goes to ground, now watch this - as soon as I touch ground it has reduced my voltage to zero, takes hands of fit, now will show you this one, it just doesn’t work, doesn’t show my voltage. Take this and put it prongs not suppose to put it in. Only shows low voltage. Q myself time noticed- I don’t have type of outlet shown in video here, but have UK version, how do I do it UK version?

I found that the earthing worked through a fitted sheet for my grounding sheet if my bare skin was touching but not if clothed skin was touching. My pillow case may be redundant. But I use it in the office chair next to my bed. If I'm wearing clothes, I tuck the earthing pillowcase under my shirt against my skin. I am sleeping better.

but if you do this with barefoot on grass it should show negative so does this say the matt really doesn't work nearly as well as being barefoot outside (on a conductive surface of course)?

So in another video the guy says to use the 200m on the V with no squiggly line side for this kind of test.. And thats the only one that works with my multimeter. If i try to use 200 V~, i get all 0's just like yours. But, if you switch it to the other setting it then works.

Hello, I am interested in your Grounding/Earthing Mats. And, I have QUESTIONS: - I live in the USA and only see 1 style/size of your Mat sold on Amazon for the USA. Is that correct? - What is the material your Mat is made from? - What are the dimensions/measurements of the Mat? - Are the edges of the Mat stitched and softer for using in bed? I have one of the Clint Ober Mats sold on Amazon and it is very stiff. The edges always catch on my ankle bones and shift the entire mat. I am curious how your Mat compares to the (very expensive) Clint Ober Mat I have? Thank you for any advice because I need a few more Grounding mats. Oh, ever thought of making a small Mouse-Pad sized one that people could use at work? Thank you! 😊

the mat/wire connecting to the mat has a resistor. loads, like resistors and appliances "break" continuity that's why it would be "open" because current applied doesn't flow to the other end of the circuit.

Worried here. I did the same test and my voltage was about 16 or 17. I touched my earthing sheet and my voltage jumped to 19-20!!!!! What is happening???? Edit: as my alarm clock was right next to the grounding socket, I move to the socket on the other side of the room. Same thing, slightly lower numbers. Body voltage touching the earthing plug and my fingers was about 13-15. Touching earthing plug and fingers on earthing sheet and it went to 15.5. Does that mean dirty electricity in my flat? Which would mean I need a rod even though I am on the 2nd floor (UK)? That’s going to be interesting to install every day…

I've also experience this and am not sure why I'm getting higher volt readings when I plug the black probe and the grounded mat into the same wall outlet. I found if I plug the black multimeter probe into a completely different wall outlet's ground than the outlet the mat's plugged into, grab the red probe and step on the mat - then the volts go down, well below what they are without contacting the mat. Have you tried this?

Then I tested volts with a cheap tester and showed nothing. Then I used a much higher quality tester and when I put the ground wire into the ground on the wall it showed a little voltage even though the red wasn't attached. I am wondering if the voltage clamp caused a little bypass? Anyways when I grabbed the red wire the voltage went up a couple volts. When I sat on the bed it went to 0. So it is definitely grounding. Whether it will do anything positive is a different story but here's hoping...lol
