Abstract

The invention relates to a Faraday cage, particularly for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance applications, having walls which delimit a room, said walls being at least partially made of an electrically conductive material and connected to the ground or to a predetermined potential. According to the invention, the Faraday cage has a floor which rests at least partly on the ground and has such a construction that the weight is spread all over its surface.According to a further characteristic, the floor wall is load-bearing and preferably consists of crossed load-bearing beams and load bearing panels therebetween.The floor is electrically conductive and is connected at least electrically to the other walls of the cage.
