What are Earth-Rite® Static Grounding Systems?
The Earth-Rite® range of static grounding and interlock systems provides the most comprehensive layers of protection from electrostatic ignition hazards.
How does the Earth-Rite® Grounding System Work?
All of our Earth-Rite® systems contain advanced electronics that continuously monitor:
- The resistance between metallic equipment requiring static earthing protection and the site’s designated earthing point,
- Three high intensity flashing green LED indicators for operator visual verification, and
- Internal volt free contacts that can automatically control the flow of product or additional attention-grabbing devices
- Earth-Rite systems also have an output option to switch an intrinsically safe signal or power supply
Our static grounding and interlock systems provide:
Ground Verification
The Earth-Rite RTR & MGV systems provide road tanker / tank truck recognition & true earth ground verification.
Continuous Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of metallic objects with a less than 10 Ohms connection to the verified site earth.
Interlock to Process
Ensures a permissive condition for interlocked equipment when a ground connection is established.
Grounding Clamps
ATEX / IECEx / FM approved heavy-duty grounding clamps to ensure a good connection to the metal object through paint, rust and product deposits.
