General Site Preparation Guidelines Electrical Factors • Better-A grounded #6 AWG minimum copper wire grid mechanically clamped to floor pedestals and properly bonded to the building or site ground • Good-Use the raised floor structure as a ground grid. In this case, the floor must be designed as a ground grid with bolted down stringers and corrosion resistive plating (to provide low resistance and attachment points for connection to service entrance ground and HP computer equipment). The use of conductive floor tiles with this style of grid further enhances ground performance. The structure needs to be mechanically bonded to a known good ground point Figure 2-1 Raised Floor Metal Strip Ground System 24 Chapter 2
