Note: To avoid the need for unduly long ground cords and to simplify the daily visual check
To fit UK mains sockets
The Vermason Earth Bonding Point (EBP) plug is designed to provide a safe effective and easy to use
earthing point in an ESD protected area (EPA). The plug fits into the mains supply socket, making a
connection with the earth conductor only. In place of the live and neutral pins are moulded insulating
plastic pins to allow positive location in the socket. Connectors on the front of the plug are available
for connection via ground cords to the various elements of the EPA. Thus each element is held at a
common potential.
The normal earth pin is linked via individual 1 MΩ resistors rated at 1 Watt to each connector on the
If overstressed the resistor will open the circuit.
It is virtually impossible to misuse the plug, which is permanently sealed. The resistance between the
terminations and the pin of each plug is tested after manufacture.
Instructions for use
Check that the connectors on the plug face correspond with the terminations on the wrist strap and
ground cords: several variations of the plug are available.
Insert the EBP plug into a mains supply socket and push it fully home. The plug functions safely
whether the socket is switched off or on.
Connect the elements of the EPA such as bench mat and floor mat to the EBP plug face using ground
cords.
The EBP plug may also be used in conjunction with a Vermason EBP box or bar installed at the front
of a bench for easier connecting of wrist straps for example.
front of the plug. In the event of a workstation element becoming live the resistor will limit the fault
current to less than 0.3 mA at 240 V supply.
that all connections are sound and in place, an EBP plug should not be shared by more
than two work stations.
