The Hazards of Static Electricity and Preventative Measures
Static electricity is a natural phenomenon that can be generated in a variety of ways, such as contact and friction. Static electricity is characterized by high voltage, low charge, low current, and short duration. Human movement, contact with other objects, separation, friction, or induction can generate static electricity of several thousand or even tens of thousands of volts. Static electricity poses serious risks in many fields. Triboelectric charging and human static electricity are two major hazards in the electronics industry. The main measures for static electricity prevention in the production process include static electricity leakage, dissipation, neutralization, humidification, shielding, and grounding.
The human body static electricity protection system mainly consists of anti-static wrist straps, ankle heel straps, work clothes, footwear, hats, gloves, or finger cots, which provide static electricity leakage, neutralization, and shielding functions.
Static electricity prevention is a long-term, systematic project. Mistakes or omissions in any step will lead to failure.
