How does the electric suit discharge static electricity
I often wear anti-static clothing when working. Do you know the working principle of anti-static clothing to release static electricity?
1. First of all, anti-static work clothes refer to work clothes sewn with anti-static fabrics as fabrics in order to prevent the accumulation of static electricity on clothing. Antistatic fabric is a fabric that is mixed with conductive fibers or antistatic synthetic fibers or both at roughly equal intervals or evenly during weaving.
2. Conductive fiber refers to the general term for fibers made of metal or organic conductive materials or subconductive materials in whole or in part, and its volume resistivity ρv～is between 104～109Ω/cm. According to the distribution of conductive components in the fibers, conductive fibers can be divided into three types: uniform conductive components, covered conductive components, and composite conductive components. The vast majority of antistatic fabrics are made of conductive fibers, especially the composite type of conductive components, that is, composite fibers are used the most.
3. Anti-static work clothes made of conductive fibers are added to chemical fiber fabrics. The electricity dissipation is based on two mechanisms of charge leakage and neutralization. When grounded, in addition to being neutralized by the corona discharge of the conductive fibers, the static electricity on the fabric can also be released to the ground through the conductive fibers; when not grounded, the electricity is eliminated by means of the weak corona discharge of the conductive fibers.
