Maximising ESD Protection in Industrial Workstations

ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) is a critical issue in the electronics and industrial manufacturing industries. Discharges can damage sensitive electronic components, reduce product quality, and even create safety risks.

Measuring ESD is a crucial part of ensuring that industrial workstations are protected from costly incidents and defects.

This white paper gives an overview of how to measure ESD according to the relevant ESD standards.

8 key points you’ll learn in this guide:

1. What are the current ESD standards

2. Things you should know before measuring

3. What are the ESD measuring equipment

4. What is a common point ground (CPG)

5. How to measure the workbenches

6. How to measure the shelves and other platforms

7. How to measure the trolleys

8. How to measure the chairs

A Complete Guide on how to measure Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

This comprehensive guide covers everything from the ESD measuring equipment to methods for measuring in your workspace.

We’ll walk you through the ESD standards and provide practical guides of how the measuring works in industrial workstations.

Easy-to-read ESD measuring guide with explanatory images and videos

Our ESD specialist, has compiled the latest information and best practices into an easy-to-read guide that will help you create a more reliable workspace to ensure the quality of your components.

Why is Measuring ESD Important? 

A single ESD event can damage sensitive electronic components and lead to expensive downtime and repairs.

By measuring ESD in your workspace, you can identify potential problem areas and take proactive steps to prevent ESD incidents from occurring.

A Comprehensive Guide to measuring ESD

In an increasingly digital and mobile world, lithium-ion batteries have become an integral part of our daily lives. From smartphones and laptops to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems, these energy-dense batteries power a wide range of applications. As the demand for lithium-ion batteries grows, so does the need for safe and efficient methods of charging and storage. Lithium battery charging cabinets have emerged as a vital solution to address the challenges associated with charging and storing these powerful energy sources.

The Rise of Lithium Batteries

Lithium-ion batteries revolutionized the electronics industry by providing high energy density, longer cycle life, and relatively light weight compared to their predecessors. This technology’s widespread adoption has led to its integration into various sectors, ranging from consumer electronics to industrial applications.

The Need for Safe Charging and Storage

While lithium-ion batteries offer numerous advantages, they also come with some inherent risks, primarily related to thermal runaway events, which can lead to fires or explosions. These risks are more pronounced during charging, discharging, or storage, particularly when batteries are exposed to unfavourable conditions such as overcharging, high temperatures, or physical damage.

To mitigate these risks, proper charging and storage practices are crucial. This is where lithium battery charging cabinets come into play. These cabinets are designed to provide a controlled environment that minimizes the potential for thermal events and maximizes the overall safety of the batteries.

Features and Benefits

1. Fire Suppression Systems: Lithium battery charging cabinets are equipped with fire suppression systems that can quickly detect and extinguish fires in the event of a thermal runaway. This prevents the fire from spreading to other batteries or equipment.

2. Temperature Regulation: The cabinets are designed to maintain a stable temperature within a safe range. Temperature control prevents excessive heat build-up that could trigger thermal events and also helps preserve battery longevity.

3. Ventilation and Airflow: Proper ventilation and airflow systems are integrated into these cabinets to dissipate heat generated during charging. Adequate ventilation reduces the risk of temperature spikes that could compromise battery safety.

4. Monitoring and Alarms: Advanced lithium battery charging cabinets are equipped with monitoring systems that track parameters such as temperature, voltage, and current. Alarms are triggered if any parameter exceeds safe limits, allowing operators to take immediate action.

5. Physical Protection: The cabinets offer physical protection against impacts and external damage that could lead to short circuits or other battery vulnerabilities.

6. Modular Configurations: Some cabinets offer modular designs, allowing for scalability and customization based on the specific needs of the application.

Applications

1. Industrial Settings: Manufacturing facilities that produce lithium-ion batteries or use them in their operations benefit from charging cabinets to ensure the safety of their products, employees, and equipment.

2. Fleet Charging: Electric vehicle fleets rely on efficient and safe charging solutions. Charging cabinets are essential for maintaining the integrity of the batteries and preventing potential hazards.

3. Renewable Energy Storage: Large-scale energy storage systems that use lithium-ion batteries, such as those paired with solar or wind installations, require secure charging and storage facilities.

4. Emergency Services: Lithium battery charging cabinets are crucial for emergency response teams that use battery-powered tools and equipment. These cabinets ensure that essential equipment is always charged and ready for deployment.

Conclusions

As the world embraces the potential of lithium-ion batteries to transform industries and improve our quality of life, ensuring their safe and efficient charging and storage becomes paramount. Lithium battery charging cabinets stand at the forefront of battery management technology, offering a comprehensive solution to mitigate risks and maintain the reliability of these powerful energy sources. As technology advances, we can expect these cabinets to evolve further, enhancing their safety features and adaptability to accommodate the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries across various sectors.
