Grounding
In electrosurgery, the term grounding refers to the relationship between the dipole circuit (active electrode—patient—return electrode) and earth ground. Three relationships between the dipole circuit and earth ground are possible: direct grounding, isolated grounding circuitry, and capacitive grounding circuitry.
DIRECT GROUNDING.
The return portion of the circuit is connected directly to earth ground. Direct grounding is considered unsafe and is not used in modern ESUs because it invites numerous alternate pathway possibilities with the potential for unintended burns.
