finbir Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 do i need a ground probe? i think i've narrowed down the cause to the Hailea chiller im running. as long as the main for the chiller is off, i dun get those small shocks in the tank anymore. Run an earth-probe using one of those titanium rods for bicycle spokes and connect other end of wire to earth of ur three pin plug. Ensure connection in sump is sealed with silicone.

Hi bro, Not all will kena the static as it's depend on individual body resistance unless it's really a current leakage. Btw, Why not just get a Titanium Grounding Probe to eliminate the static problem ? Quote Knowing is not enough; we must apply.

SRC Member onizukaa Posted June 11, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted June 11, 2011 Agreed with u. But I used test pen now wor. Test pen should be all the same le ba??? bro, since you get the shocking feeling again, off all the equipment one by one, till the test pen dont light up, the last one you off that does not lights up the test pen is the caused of the issue. change the equipment of it (mostly is those 2 pin type power socket) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So scary man bro..... think better act fast from the advice of the bros here.... if u going to get the 3 pin plug, DIY shop selling at 7.90.... is actually a converter to convert German 3 pin to UK 3 pin.... fyi german 3 pin is actually only 2 pin, the earth is inside the round plug..... think german brand like eheim comes with german 3 pin.... mai too liao... check and confirm then go buy liao....

SRC Member tunicate Posted June 11, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted June 11, 2011 I suggest you turn on your equipment one at a time. (i.e. 1st equipment, test pen, 2nd equipment, test pen,... until you find the culprit.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
