Intrinsically Safe Self-testing Static Grounding Clamp
now incorporating mains power supply.
The new mains powered Bond-Rite REMOTE EP provides a reliable and
economical way to enable static bonding connections to be continuously
checked and verified in flammable atmospheres.
International Safety Standards dictate that static grounding and bonding
clamps are required wherever mobile or portable conductive plant items such
as drums, containers and vessels are used in hazardous areas. However,
these types of mobile plant often have coated surfaces and this problem is
compounded in use due to build up of insulating layers such as paint,
resins, product build-up, or other contamination. These conditions can
easily impair the effectiveness of the static-grounding clamp and insulate
the plant item, but it is virtually impossible to know this just from
visual inspection.
To overcome this situation, the Bond-Rite REMOTE EP combines the benefits
of a purpose designed grounding clamp with wall mounted monitoring
electronics and feedback via visual indication (flashing green LED). The
Bond-Rite continuously tests it's own connection and verifies a suitably
low resistance static dissipation path (< 10 Ohms). Power Supply Units are
available for 230 or 110V AC, and incorporate Intrinsically Safe Barriers -
unit ATEX certification EX II (1) GD [EEx ia IIC]. Up to four monitoring
units can be driven from a single power supply, providing an economical and
simple to install solution in applications where multiple plant items must
be earthed.
The Bond-Rite REMOTE EP complements the existing Bond-Rite range of self
testing clamps and is perfectly suited to applications where the earthing
clamp/connector will be attached to plant/drums/containers for prolonged
periods of time. The Bond-Rite is manufactured and distributed in the UK by
Newson Gale Ltd and is available worldwide through a network of specialist
distributors. Please contact Newson Gale for more information.
