Raised Floor Grounding Non-Stringer Type

Raised Floor Grounding Non-Stringer Type

Raised Floor Grounding Non-Stringer Type

(OP)
I am not getting a good sense about the actual requirements for grounding the raised floor system.  I've read about recommendations but not hard, fast requirements.  In a standard raised floor application, no computer rooms or heavy data equipment, I would bond to any column, and bond every ten feet to a floor pedestal.  However, when a floor is used that doesn't have stringers but rather individual stand alone pedestals, what should one do?  Do you have to bond to every floor pedestal?

RE: Raised Floor Grounding Non-Stringer Type

If the metallic parts are not likely to become energized, and you are not worried about static buildup, then no bonding needed.
