Employees (operators) wearing synthetic clothing and moving around easily generate static discharge. Additionally, the friction, stirring, and movement of packaging products or周转 equipment in high-temperature rooms can also produce static. The static generated can easily cause electronic components to break down and burn, affecting the accuracy of detection equipment and instruments, and can also cause computer systems to malfunction. The sparks from static can also ignite and explode flammable and explosive gases such as natural gas, oil, and alcohol. Therefore, proper grounding is required for equipment, containers, and pipelines that are prone to static generation, as well as for production processes that are prone to static. Grounding refers to the electrical connection between a specific point in a system, device, or equipment and the local ground (earth). Therefore, the smaller the resistance, the faster the current flows, and the higher the level (or safer) of equipment (or grade) that can be protected. Moreover, good grounding can effectively reduce static noise in computer systems caused by potential changes.

Types of grounding: Working grounding, Protective grounding, Anti-static grounding, Lightning protection grounding, Repeated grounding, Isolation grounding, Shielding grounding, Signal grounding for electronic equipment, Power grounding for electronic equipment, etc.

Based on international and domestic standards: The resistivity values of electrostatic grounding resistors (earth resistivity) are divided into three grades:

        ①.≤1Ω; ②.≤4Ω; ③.≤10Ω; 

General Requirements:

Communication Worksite: ≤4Ω

Safety Protection Resistance: ≤4Ω

Anti-static grounding: ≤4Ω

Lightning Protection Grounding: ≤10Ω

Factories or laboratories can choose the appropriate grounding resistance value according to their own environmental requirements.

Recommendation: The ground resistance value for general factories can be required to be ≤10Ω (but if all equipment needs to be connected, the ground resistance value should be ≤4Ω). For example, in chemical factories (factories producing hazardous chemicals) and factories that produce and process flammable and explosive gases, the ground resistance value should be required to be ≤4Ω or higher. For electronic factories, semiconductor factories, inspection laboratories, and computer systems (cleanrooms above 100级, with voltage resistance of electronic components not exceeding 100V), the ground resistance value should be required to be ≤4Ω or higher.
