Best Preventive Measures for Industrial Static Electricity
1. Computer rooms should ideally have anti-static flooring, and computer cases should be reliably grounded.
Regarding the shielding and grounding of the computer case, two points should be noted: (1) All parts of the case should maintain good contact; otherwise, parts not connected to the ground will lose their shielding effect; (2) If the building does not have a ground wire, a simple ground wire needs to be made. Newly built buildings in recent years usually have compliant ground wires. During circuit construction, the live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire must be connected to the correct positions on the socket or power strip according to the power distribution specifications.
2. In northern regions, humidifiers should be used in autumn and winter to maintain a certain level of indoor humidity and prevent static electricity from accumulating on equipment, furniture, and the body.
3. During transportation and storage, the entire computer or its components should be transported in an anti-static shielding bag or conductive transport box to prevent integrated circuit chips from being damaged by static electricity.
4. During use and maintenance, when touching any circuit inside the computer, remember to first touch the metal casing to release static electricity from your body. Professionals generally have this habit, but the standard practice is to wear anti-static wrist straps.
5. Computer maintenance and repair personnel should use anti-static work mats and anti-static gloves when performing repairs. Measuring instruments, soldering irons, and other tools and equipment that directly contact circuits must be grounded to prevent induced static electricity or leakage from damaging computer chips.
