Explanation:
pas vraiment tapis antistatique ici

"Earth Mats are metal mats that are installed underground to form a very good ground (usually for extremely good lightning protection, or for extremely good ground systems required for EMI testing).

It is usually required to dig up the ground to a depth, the fill dire on top of the mats.

An array of ground rods driven into the ground is a better technique.

The material is usually copper, but other materials can be used if the soil is highly corrosive. The higher the conductivity of the material the better.

Two examples of earth mat materials are provided in the link below."

Terme fréquemment employé il me semble

Il serait possible d'écrire :
"... comprend un ruban de mise à la terre et un tapis de mise à la terre..." Répétition certes, mais pas gênante à mon avis
