Well it's not my property, I'm just renting, but it's my understanding over here in spain, all electrical installations have to have safety measures and that one of them is that, so as to avoid electric shocks killing people, the current is grounded, in what they call ''toma de tierra''.
However, in Britain, I believe this works through a third prong, the ugly one that's added to what seems like the standard two rods in Europe.
Does the spanish version of ''toma de tierra'', which i assume is somewhere inside the walls, count for an ESD mat? Is it just as good as a British third rod and can I buy a british ESD mat and use an adapter to plug it into a spanish wall?
