When loading or unloading non-conductive, flammable liquids or powders, there is a risk of generating electrostatic discharges. If these discharges reach sufficient magnitude, they can instigate an explosion.

In order to perform these tasks safely, Thorne & Derrick together with StuvEx can provide a variety of systems designed to verify the grounding of conductive equipment.

“Tailored for trucks and railcars, our TES01 (IP) (EX) earthing control solution is engineered to prevent electrostatic discharges effectively. It includes a control unit, an earthing clamp, and either a cable or cable reel. This solution verifies the electrical connection to the clamp and detects the electrical capacitance between the truck and the earthing point, allowing adherence to the guidelines outlined in standard IEC 60079-32-1.,” explains Emilien Griffon, Sales Development Manager for France.
