Abstract

A perforating gun includes a charge holder that is positioned in a carrier. End fittings are affixed to the ends of the holder and support the holder in a longitudinal passage of the carrier. Both end fittings have electrical conductors for an electrical signal disposed therethrough. The first end fitting also has a ground conductor for a ground signal. At least one elastic conductor is attached to the holder and is engaged laterally in a direction relative to the longitudinal passage. The at least one elastic conductor is disposed in electrical communication with the carrier and the ground signal to improve the grounding of the charge assembly and its components in the gun's carrier.
