OK, so now I am looking for an acceptable common ground bus scheme at my station desk. I have heard of many schemes that people use including a hollow copper pipe and using hose clamps as attachment clamps. I have been wracking my brain and the best and most convenient solution would be a ground bus bar from a circuit breaker box like this.
These things are cheap and easily available at Home Despot. They also seem to provide a solid electrical and mechanical connection. Aside from the fact that it does not as easily allow attachment of flat braided ground strap instead of and is better suited to using #10/12/14 solid copper house wire, is there a downside to this idea?
Also, if I have a metal desk frame (not the shelves), whould it be better mounted insulated from the frame or mounted directly to the desk frame (electrically grounding it)?
And, should I be using flat braided ground straps or are they over-rated/over-priced?
