Railcar Grounding System
Static Grounding for Rail Cars
The Rite PLUS™ provides positive verification of static ground (earth) connections on a wide range of industrial plant equipment, including rail cars, drums, containers, and other conductive equipment.
Whenever flammable liquids or powders are transferred, or wherever there is a risk of conductive plant items becoming isolated from ground within hazardous locations, effective grounding and bonding is necessary to ensure safe dissipation of static electricity to prevent fires and explosions which can be ignited by static. When connected to a tanker truck or other conductive equipment, the intrinsically safe monitoring circuit verifies a low resistance connection and dissipation path to ground. Good connection is confirmed by pulsing LED indicators, releasing a pair of voltage-free output contacts and enabling the transfer of product to start.
