How does the Earth Tap work?
When the Barefoot Connections™ Earth Tap is plugged into a grounded and functional electrical outlet, current travels through the Earth Tap lighting two green lights. The green light on the left indicates that there is power in the circuit; the light on the right indicates that there is a functional grounding system. With both green lights “on,” an individual can be assured that when their Barefoot Connections™ product is plugged in, it will instantly and safely connect them with the earth via the grounding system in the building. However, please note that there is no flow of alternating current beyond the Earth Tap. The only flow of current through a Barefoot Connections™ product is the natural electrical field from the surface of the earth.
