Kill Stat ESD UK Anti-Static Grounding Adapter – 3 x 10mm
Kill Stat ESD UK Anti-Static Grounding Adapter – 3 x 10mm Studs, 1 Meg-Ohm Resisto
Directions For Use
The Grounding Adaptor fits into the mains supply socket, making a connection with the Earth conductor only. In place of the live and neutral pins are moulded insulating plastic pins to allow positive location in the socket. Connectors on the front of the adaptor are available for connection via ground cables to the various elements of the electrostatic protected area (EPA). Each element is half at a common potential. A resistance of sufficient resistance to limit current to less than 0.0005 amperes (0.5 milliamps), at the highest voltage that may be encountered, should be incorporated.
Nominally, 800 kilo ohms are sufficient for voltages of up to 240 volts alternating current (AC). The value of one mega ohm is specified because it is a standard value discrete resistor. Follow appropriate regulatory or company safe grounding instructions. If over-stressed, the resistor will open the circuit. It is virtually impossible to misuse the Grounding Adaptor, which is permanently sealed.
