Is static electricity very harmful?
2019/04/08
Quantitative impact of electrostatic hazards!!!
| Industry | Typical losses | Necessity of electrostatic protection |
| Electronic Manufacturing | Increased component scrap rate and production line shutdown | ESD protection system must be adopted (such as anti-static clothing, wristbands) |
| Cleanroom | Product yield reduced by 5% -20%, customer complaints | Strict humidity control (40% -60% RH) and anti-static flooring are required |
| Chemical/Petroleum | Explosion risk, equipment damage | Explosion proof tools and anti-static work clothes must be used |
How to effectively control static electricity hazards?
Personnel protection:
Wear anti-static clothing, shoes, and wristbands to ensure equal potential between the human body and the ground.
Environmental control:
Maintain humidity at 40% -60% RH and use an ion fan to neutralize static electricity.
Equipment grounding:
All workbenches, tools, shelves, etc. are grounded to discharge static electricity.
Material selection:
Use anti-static packaging, anti-static flooring, and conductive consumables.
