380 volts
Problems are only possible if the welding transformer breaks down.
But even in this situation, the computer is unlikely to die.
Please note - NO 50 volts can be obtained on the computer case.
After all, the welder is connected at both ends to one point on the computer.
Tales about the capacitance of transformers and the transmission of current through one wire
in two directions is not necessary.
Computer from the inside:

If any other grounded computers are connected to the computer
who the hell knows where
then of course they burn.
Now think about what happens when you LOSE your computer!
Electricians really like to burn out some neutral wire somewhere.
Then, along with it, all household electronics very often burn out...
So in this case, when zeroing, the picture turns out to be the same,
and if you consider that this very neutral wire has a non-zero
resistance... In short, it’s better not to ground at all.
Normal land is difficult to find.

Against static - a 1M resistor in any hole in the socket... (C) Ivan Mak.
And where does the static come from, or where does it go when grounded? :-/ Even
If the monitor’s power supply does not remove it, then everything is connected through the computer.
It is implied
that the monitor is connected to the computer or everything is plugged into one extension cord
"PILOT".
But the modem seems to work better when grounded, I can’t check. Among
users
Vicomm modems practiced the method of connecting the Vicommka with one wire to
battery,
and others to the telephone line. After that they said 2400 trains. And I have
not like that at all
It worked, but it didn’t seem like it should have. :-/
