How does poor grounding in Pakistani labs contribute to ignition coil failure in MS-HS sputtering systems?

In some Pakistani research and industrial facilities, improper o r insufficient grounding has led to high-voltage instability. This can damage ignition components, including the ignition coil. What grounding standards o r setups should be used to protect ignition coils in high-voltage MS-HS systems? Are there affordable local solutions?

Inadequate grounding in many local labs results in electrical noise, arcing, and voltage spikes, which can damage ignition coils. Poor ground loops o r missing earth connections increase stress on high-voltage components.

Solutions:

Ensure the sputtering system has a dedicated earth ground, ideally 1 ohm resistance.

Use grounding rods o r plates that meet IEEE/NEC grounding standards.

Regularly test the ground connection with a ground resistance tester.

Isolate sensitive electronics using ferrite cores o r shielded cables to minimize EMI electromagnetic interference.
