The reason why both computers and network equipment need to be grounded.

I would like to share with you the reasons why it is necessary for both computers and network equipment to be grounded. I hope you will gain something after reading this article. Let's discuss it together.

The cause of grounding: it can prevent the person from electric shock, damage to equipment and lines, prevent fire and lightning, prevent electrostatic damage and ensure the normal operation of the power system. When the internal insulators of electrical equipment are aged or damaged, electricity may be transmitted to the metal shell; if the shell is grounded, the current will flow into the earth through the ground wire, and people will not be electrocuted when they encounter the live metal shell.

The main function of grounding is to prevent people from electric shock, damage to equipment and lines, prevent fire and lightning, prevent electrostatic damage and ensure the normal operation of the power system.

Under normal circumstances, the metal shell of the electrical equipment is insulated from the live part, and there is no electricity on the shell, but if the internal insulator of the appliance is aged or damaged, the electricity may be transmitted to the metal shell.

If the shell is not grounded, the person will be electrocuted if he touches it. If the metal shell is grounded, the current will flow into the earth through the ground wire, and the person will not be electrocuted when he touches the charged metal shell.
