It's almost like an extra flexible bicycle chain. Personally, I use a wire, because I have it. As for the chain, you have a point, but I'd have to think conditions would have to be so perfect... Chains are often used for grounding, I think in part because they are so flexible. Wire tends to curl and kink. It's easy to imagine scenarios where a wire develops a kink which keeps it from making contact with what it's supposed to be touching. I'm thinking of things like chains hanging from the bottom of fuel trucks, with the end dangling on the road surface. This is an application where gravity provides the contact force. Where you've got clamps to make the contact, it's probably less of an issue. |
