Red Standard Heel Grounder, 1 meg resistor
How Heel Grounders Work
Heel grounders eliminate a charge on a person by electrically connecting the person to
a grounded surface. A conductive ribbon placed inside the wearer’s shoe or sock makes
electrical contact with the skin through perspiration. The assembly contains a current-
limiting resistor which protects the operator from accidental exposure to electricity. Heel
grounders must be worn on both feet to maintain ground contact while walking.
