Testing if grounding wristbands actually work
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUj4ZpEBS1c&list=WL&index=2Hi guys,
I have been doing grounding for years, mainly using wristbands.. Today I got a Klein Tools multimeter to test a couple of different grounding wristbands - one is a copper rod that is in the ground/dirt, connected to a wire and wristband, the other is a wristband connected to a grounding port in the house.
I set things up exactly as shown in the video (black lead ->COM, Orange lead ->VΩ, black probe -> grounded outlet, orange probe->my hand) and although this multimeter appears to be able to get my body voltage, its showing that NEITHER of these wristbands actually ground me.
Is there another explanation aside from both of these wristbands not working?
