Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How do you ground a static discharge?

A. To ground an object, we need to connect it to the earth through an electrode or grounding rod stuck in the ground. Grounding takes the static charges away as they are generated, taking off the extra charge by transmitting electrons between the object and the earth.

Q. Can static electricity be dangerous to humans?

A. Although static electricity does not directly endanger human life, it can nonetheless shock us and if we were on an elevated surface, the shock could inflict a severe injury from the impact.

Q. What materials generate static electricity most?

A. Materials that easily gain or lose electrons like wool, silk, nylon, tissue paper, human hair, dry skin, plastic wrap and polyester.

Q. How should I clean Salisbury 20817 static discharge stick?

A. Clean the rescue hook with mild detergent and water, avoiding abrasive cleaners. Regular cleaning ensures the longevity of the tool and keeps it free from contaminants.

Q. What protective equipment is available on Raptor Supplies to use with Salisbury 20817 static discharge stick?

A. Salisbury 4169 switch stick storage container is used with this static discharge stick consisting of high-impact orange polyethylene to safeguard insulating blankets during storage.
