Use anti-static wrist strap with anti-static shoes

Why are antistatic wrist straps and antistatic work shoes the most effective for discharging static electricity from the human body? For electrostatic discharge, the most effective and stable method is to ground. The same is true for the discharge of human static electricity. An anti-static wrist strap is used to discharge the static electricity of the human body. The wrist strap can be used to export the static electricity to the anti-static ground connected to the wrist strap.


However, please note that it is not allowed to disconnect when using the wristband, otherwise it will lose the grounding effect (the wristband should be connected to the ground with a special grounding wire with a socket, and it cannot be clamped on the desktop or the metal body near the table). The anti-static wrist strap is not fastened, causing the contact resistance between the human skin and the wrist strap to increase, which will also lead to the inability to discharge the static electricity in a timely manner. However, when the resistance is reduced, it may cause electric shock to the human body if a leakage occurs. Danger.


Anti-static shoes should have anti-static socks / insoles when they are worn, and work on anti-static ground so that the static electricity carried by the human body can be conducted to the ground. Excessive resistance or disconnection of any part of the shoes will cause harmful static electricity to the human body. Therefore, a human body resistance tester should be provided in important departments to check whether the shoes / socks / shoe pads worn by the human body and the total resistance with the human body can discharge static electricity. It can be said that anti-static wrist straps and anti-static shoes are the most effective way to discharge static electricity from the human body.
