Application Notes

Conductive shielding paints and groundable fabrics only protect against low-frequency electric fields — and only meet safety requirements — when correctly grounded. YSHIELD grounding components are made in-house and include separate solutions for fixed installations (walls/ceilings) and portable textiles (canopies, blankets).

Safety notice: In fixed installations, the grounding connection must be made by a licensed electrician in accordance with the applicable electrical installation regulations. Ask us for help choosing the right components for your project.

Application Areas

The mandatory grounding of walls and ceilings coated with shielding paint
Connecting groundable fabrics, curtains and canopies
Structural grounding runs for fleece/mat/mesh layers
Moisture-resistant junction boxes for exterior applications
Single-point distribution in multi-surface projects (GD5)

Installation and Application

On fixed surfaces, the GS plate is set in place before the paint dries or mounted pressed against the dried film; it is connected to the run with a cable lug.
The connection to the building's earth/equipotential busbar must be made by a licensed electrician, in accordance with the wiring regulations in force.
On textiles, a GCS (screw), GCM (magnetic) or GCV (hook-and-loop) connector is attached to the fabric; a GL cable runs to the grounding point.
For portable textiles, the country-specific GP plug connects only to the earth pin; it carries no power.
Several surfaces can be combined into a single run with the GD5 distributor; outdoors, the GF4 box is used.

Care and Service Life

Grounding components need no maintenance; an annual visual check (loosening, oxidation) is enough. If a run was interrupted during renovations, continuity should be verified with a multimeter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is grounding mandatory?

If a conductive surface is not grounded, it does not shield low-frequency electric fields and can pose a safety risk in a wiring-fault scenario. Grounding is both a performance and a safety requirement.

Is the earth in my socket enough?

If your installation is earthed to code, yes — GP plugs and GL cables use this line. If in doubt, have an electrician check the installation's earthing first.

Do I have to ground my canopy?

Not if only high frequency is the goal; if low-frequency electric fields from the wiring behind the bed are also an issue, grounding the groundable fabrics makes sense.

From how many points should it be grounded?

In a standard room, one point per surface is usually enough; on segmented or interrupted surfaces, continuity or a separate connection is planned for each independent piece. We calculate this in the project.
