Why Static Charge Is Dangerous In Industrial Or Manufacturing Industries. A common ignition source within Industrial or Manufacturing Industries or Petrochemical, sparks resulting from Static Charge buildup and sudden discharge of it. Since many types of electrical equipment are used in the industry, a Static charge can be made in this case. And static charges can be generated from different types of moving machinery. This static charge has to be well controlled in the industry. Electrostatic discharge occurs when two materials at different potentials or polarities come close enough together to generate a charge transfer. In an explosive environment, this sudden transfer of charges may be energetic enough to be an ignition source. # Major Industrial Sources of Static Electricity are:- (a) The use of power, or conveyor belts in which non-conductive materials move over or between pulleys and rollers. (b) Pulverized materials or dust passing through chutes or being conveyed ...
