GROUNDING & ESD SAFETY

 

Electrical Grounding & ESD Safety Monitoring System

Protect Your Critical Infrastructure

Electrical  Grounding & ESD Safety Monitoring System  proactively alerts and protects damage to critical infrastructure.  The  System  monitors and measures electrical ground connectivity & its  resistance ,  to indicate presence of a safe path for the dissipation of fault currents that occur during events like  lightning strikes, poor grounding  & static discharges. RDL’s  Cutting -Edge  solution not only ensures compliance to safety standards but ensures

higher uptime in potentially hazardous environments and  static protected areas.  

ESD safe path for the dissipation connectivity requires focused monitoring as it can cause harmful impact to the work environment , including explosion in gas , flammable vapor and coal dust , as well as failure of solid state electronics components such as integrated circuits.


Why Bonding & Grounding need to be Monitored ?


Static electricity results from the interaction of dissimilar materials . This can occur when materials are rubbed together, such as in the classic example of walking across a carpet on a dry winter day while wearing woolen socks. However, static discharges can also develop when a liquid passes through a pipe, through an opening into a tank, and/or when mixing or agitating the mixture . 

The liquid is moving different electrons from one to another, and the friction of electrons creates static electricity.An electrostatic discharge (also called a static spark) is a discharge of electricity across a gap between two points not in contact, resulting from a difference in electrical potential. The spark produced when the electrical charge jumps across the gap usually contains enough energy to ignite flammable vapors if they are in concentrations that will sustain combustion. The generation. 

The two most important ways to prevent static sparks are~ bonding and grounding.



Bonding: Bonding is done to eliminate the difference in electrical potential between two or more objects. Bonding will not eliminate the static charge, but will equalize the potential

between the objects bonded so that a spark will not occur between them. 

Grounding :To ensure that a static charge will not create a spark as a result of this difference, a conductive path must be provided to the earth.

Why is it important to bond and ground containers?

Transferring a liquid from one metal container to another may result in static electrical sparks. To prevent the build up of static electricity and prevent sparks from causing a fire, it is important to bond metal dispensing and receiving containers together before pouring. Bonding is done by making an electrical connection from one metal container to the other. This ensures that there will be no difference in electrical potential between the two containers and, therefore, no sparks will be formed.

Bonding and grounding are needed when dispensing flammable liquids from storage drums to smaller electrically conductive containers. Similarly, whenever you transfer these liquids between conductive containers in any work areas, for example, when filling or draining dip tanks, mixers, rinse tanks or other equipment, bond both containers together and ground one of them. Check bonding and grounding connections regularly to ensure they are in good condition .
