to at least few thousand volts, so that when one of your feet lands on it, it

does not conduct any current.

What Is EPSM?
(Equal Potential Safety Mat)
Patent-pending, filed by Paul Chang – Chief Inventor of CAL-LAB
Brief Background – why is EPSM a life-saver?
A woman died when she grabbed the handle of a refrigerator, just as a lightning
discharge was downloaded onto the EARTH-connection leading to the
refrigerator! Her sister who was nearby was injured although she was not
touching anything.
• When both of your feet are on the EPSM – if there was a high voltage
present, it would not conduct to your body because you are standing on
INSULATING-material, gradually shifting to be at equal-potential.
• As soon as you are on the EPSM, it would gradually equalize your
body-potential to that of the refrigerator’s or any other equipment that are
also on the same EPSM (forming one safe-island).
• Because, once you are on the EPSM, you are at Equal Potential with
ALL equipment or conductors on it, you have an environment as safe
as that of a bird perching on a high-tension cable.

An analysis into the forces involved would have revealed that the ELCB or How can EPSM be successful & effective?

situation or an environment like a bird perched on a 132KV high-tension
cable! The bird is not affected by the tremendously high voltage because • A correctly set up PC work-station will also become a safe-island.
the bird is at EQUAL POTENTIAL (no voltage-difference) with the cable
(therefore no current flowing through its body). A typical SAFE-island setup with CLLI + EPSM

EPSM (Equal Potential Safety Mat) creates exactly the same SAFE-
environment for you at a chosen area in your home or work-place –
such as kitchen, computer work-area or work-station. So that you
are always safe from electricity-leakage or lightning discharge!

How does EPSM work?

The Bird-analogy
• When the bird approached the high-tension cable, whatever STATIC-
voltage-potential it was at would be shifted to that of the high-tension
cable’s, gradually – because it was not touching another cable
• If the bird’s wings were spread between two of the high-tension
cables, it would be cooked immediately
• The bird was safe at more than 100,000volts because it was not
touching another cable – hence there was no potential difference to
conduct current through its body.
