Summary
SLA-S-Y Static Grounding Monitoring System is designed to ground the tank truck during loading and unloading.
SLA-S-Y
Static Grounding Monitoring System is designed to ground the tank truck during
loading and unloading operations to dissipate any static electricity that may
accumulate on the tank truck.
When
an ungrounded tanker is filling/empty of liquid or powder, the road tanker may
accumulate enough static electricity to cause a risk of discharge.
In
order to counteract this risk, it is important to ensure that the tank truck
does not have the ability to accumulate static electricity. The most practical
and comprehensive way to achieve this goal is to ensure that the tank truck is
at ground potential, especially before the start of the transfer process.
This
is because the overall mass of the earth has an infinite ability to balance the
charge, which in turn minimizes the accumulation of static electricity in the
tanker truck and reduces the generation and existence of voltage on the tanker
truck.
The
use of a grounding system can reduce the need to physically measure the
connection between the grounding rod and the tanker to ensure that it is in
good condition, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of the
loading/unloading process.
There
is a simple display, coupled with the driver/operator education, they use the
grounding clamp as the main function to ensure repeatable reliability of use.
When
the grounding system is used to ground and monitor the tanker, the permit
status can be clearly indicated to the driver/operator through the green
flashing LED, and the interlock relay can help improve the safety of the
loading/unloading process.
