| Proper grounding and bonding can prevent ignition due to lightning, static electricity and stray currents. |
|
| Bonding and grounding are the same thing. |
|
| Grounding is also referred to as "earthing". |
|
| All bonding is accomplished by use of wires. |
|
| Workers can be grounded through the use of static dissipating boots. |
|
| Dialectric boots act as insulators to prevent static from freely dissipating. |
|
| When two conductors isolated from each other by a dielectric union or bushing, the ability of either conductor to accumulate a charge increases. |
|
| Spray finishing equipment is notorious for generating static charges. |
|
| Steam cleaning can cause the accumulation of a static charge. |
|
| Static electrical discharges will only cause ignition if the energy released is adequate to cause ignition. |
|
| The discharge of static will cause ignition only in atmospheres within the flammable range of the fuel present. |
|
| An electrical spark is incapable of igniting gasoline vapors when only 14.2% oxygen is in the atmosphere. |
