ESD protection for safe working
Many customers ask us why ESD protection is so important in the workplace. In private everyday life, the discharge of electrostatic voltage, known as ESD (Electro Static Discharge) for short, is merely unpleasant - in the working world, however, this physical phenomenon can become very dangerous. Because: If high potential differences exist, this can not only cause damage to devices and components. In explosive atmospheres, fires can be triggered when static electricity is discharged, and even explosions are possible. To protect people and prevent product and equipment damage, possible frictional electricity must be efficiently prevented. Bürklin Elektronik relies here on the products of experienced and reliable manufacturer partner companies.
