Static Bonding and Grounding Education
Static electricity bonding and grounding is a different animal entirely from regular electrical system bonding and grounding. While the physics properties are the same, the standards, applications, and equipment are all different. Did you know that you shouldn't use a jumper cable as a static grounding assembly? Do you know which right static grounding reel is right for your application?
While the NFPA and other standards and safety bodies make it clear that you should ground static electricity in areas with flammable gases and dust, they do not help you with the critical part of "how" you do this. We are here to help. Check out our list of constantly updated education pieces below.
