Eltex TERRALIGHT - Active Grounding System for Flammable Materials Handling
Eltex's TERRALIGHT active grounding system addresses safety concerns when dealing with highly flammable materials in manual processes. Given the potential for explosion due to uncontrolled electrostatic sparks, TERRALIGHT ensures protection by verifying that grounding contacts have a conductive connection to objects being grounded, including a connection for potential equalization. This guarantees the effective dissipation of static charges. The device is designed to be mains-independent, powered by batteries, and suitable for use in hazardous environments categorized under Ex-areas such as zones 0-2 or 20-22. This technology is critical for ensuring safety when handling materials that pose flammability risks, providing secure and reliable grounding solutions even when handling processes are done manually.Most popular related searches
In smaller quantities, highly flammable materials are often filled by hand. As in these cases there is no reliable ground connection of the containers, barrels, scoops or hoppers, there is a high explosion hazard due to uncontrolled electrostatic sparks.
The TERRALIGHT now provides safety, even for manual processes. It checks whether the grounding contact has a conductive connection to the object being grounded and even whether it has a connection to potential equalization. This helps ensure reliable dissipation of static charges.
