Multi-drop bonding configuration
A third option, which is a hybrid of the preceding two variants, makes use of a mixture of local
grounding rails for both the Zener diode barriers and the sensors, that connect sensor and
electronics locales in large distributed apparatus, such as multi-station rotogravure presses.
Each sensor and/or Zener diode barrier is connected to a common grounding rail that runs from
