Safe static grounding clamp is self-testing

Bond-Rite, an intrinsically-safe self-testing static grounding clamp, has been developed to enable static bonding connections to be continuously checked and verified in flammable atmospheres.

Static grounding and bonding clamps are required whenever mobile or portable conductive plant items such as drums, containers and vessels are used in hazardous areas. But coated surfaces often cause a problem, as does the build up in use of further insulating layers, such as paint, resins, product build-up or other contamination. Such problems can be difficult to detect through visual inspection, so the Bond-Rite incorporates monitoring electronics and feedback is via a flashing green LED.
