The difference between anti-static and insulation
We first need to be clear. From a physical or electrical point of view, anti-static and insulation are completely different. The main difference is that the anti-static material is conductive, while the insulating material is non-conductive.
But there are often occasions where there are large electromechanical equipment such as power distribution rooms that require "anti-static insulating rubber pads". How should this be understood? First of all, this kind of occasion needs to protect electromechanical equipment from static electricity, so anti-static treatment on the ground is undoubtedly a good choice, but after anti-static treatment means that the ground becomes a conductor, and this environment itself must Measures to prevent leakage to ensure the safety of workers who enter it. Compromising the two, the requirement of "anti-static insulating rubber pad" is produced, and in general, the volume resistance of the anti-static rubber pad from the 6th power of 10 to the 9th power of 10 ohms is sufficient to stand on it when the leakage current is below 1000V.
