Hi all,
I know that this topic has been beaten to death but I had a question regarding earth grounding a custom case.
I already converted an ATX to Lab supply and it works fine but I wanted to go down another route by having my own unit that connects to the ATX motherboard connector rather than opening up the ATX supply.
Like this:
The designer of this one used a wooden case but I was thinking of using a metal container as wood is combustable and when dealing with mains I don't want to take any chances.
The only thing that I am not sure about is how to earth my stand-alone metal container.
The earthing is connected to the ATX case, so should I just get a wire and connect a piece of the ATX case to my container?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
JP
