1 and 2a (although 2a can be used to burn up some power cables, cause lots of smoke, fire alarm goes off, people run in circles and shout alot about aborting the sprinklers to save the chamber, and no one got it on video.

I wonder whether anyone has a definitive answer. 1. Why is the bench used? 2. Why does it have a low inductance connection to the test chamber? Here's my guesses: 1. To replicate the chassis of a car / aircraft / tank / ship and hence provide a return path for any common mode RF current on a cable harness. 2. a) To provide an electrical safety earth for the bench. b) because we've always done it that way.
