What's electrocuting you? A few words about static tension

I want to say a few words about static tension. If in the room where you work, on the floor is a palace or carpet, this is a great thing for static tension, it is enough to walk around the computer, and then put your hand to some plateau, be sure to slip a very beautiful little spark that will spoil you and the plateau and mood, and will cost you decent money and anxiety.

Before you work with the installation of cideroma, remove everything that cracks when removed from the body and produces sparks, leave only something that does not form static tension. It is preferable to stay in underwear made of simple fabric, but I warn you, if you make this connection to someone, you may misunderstand.







I'm constantly getting electric at work. What do I do?

  • We need to ground the machine body.
  • Get another job!
  • Hit the electricians to repair the ground and not to wear synthetics, including underwear - static electricity can be induced
  • Ground the machine. Stick to the case of the machine firmly copper (preferably polycore) moderately thick wire, and connect it to the ground line, or if there is none, with an iron heating battery. And the paint on the battery should be cleaned.
  • Contact an electrician or supervisor
  • Put on your rubber boots.
When I get out of the car, electric shocks from the door. It's just scary to climb out the door to close, a blow of such force, and it hurts.

before leaving the car, touch the back of the palm to any metal body parts - the metal frame of the cigarette lighter, then the charge will drain and there will be no impact.

  • Treat the upholstery of the seat and clothes with antistatics, wear shoes on the leather sole.
  • In wet weather, this phenomenon usually does not happen.
  • Check the angles of the wheel installation (at the station) and hang the antistatic
  • Change your clothes.
I am often electrocuted by various objects. I don’t wear synthetics or wool either. Today, everything is electric – a chair, laptop plastic (!), a lamp. I'm wearing cotone pants and a top.

  • It's all about your shoes and floor covering.
  • Sprays are sold antistatics - they just can be sprayed with clothes, and there are antistatics that can be added during washing - liquid - there are many of them.
  • We need to ground! Take the wire (without insulation), one end is fastened to the leg and the other to the battery. And every day for two hours lie down and discharge.
  • I can advise you to drink more water (2.5-3 liters), while beating should be less frequent, you can put a natural blanket on the office chair, but this does not help much.
Especially in the spring. Getting out of the car is a problem, sometimes it will crack so electric that sparks from the eyes. I think it's a problem because of the synthetics. Although we think we wear natural things, there are no completely natural things. I also noticed that this happens when you wear wool.

  • buy a rubber dielectric mat on the floor, so to speak, for “grounding”...
  • buy shoes with rubber soles, rubber does not conduct an electric discharge
Every time I get out of the car and close the door, I am very electrocuted even the sparks are visible!



  • I touch the door twice, as fast as a mouse, then it doesn't beat.
  • I noticed a trend when this happens. When aggressiveness increases on certain days, tension, irritability (it is known when women have these days), then everything hits everywhere.
From the tap water shocks, if in the robe (synthetic) I go.

  • It is necessary to walk barefoot on the sand, although the weather does not allow this. At least put your hands on it.
  • The air in the house is too dry. We need to moisten it further. Put water baths on batteries
  • Buy a humidifier.
I get hit after I sit at the computer and then I go turn on the tap water. It is worth touching, immediately the current permeates the whole body.

It is easier to associate this with a chair and clothes. accumulate a static charge, and when you touch water, the pipes break into the ground pipes.



To get rid of static stress, it is better, of course, to tie a wire to the water pipe, while there will be a reliable grounding, and the owners will be more calm, it is difficult to expect anything extraordinary from a tied person. You can also fight static voltage – stick a nail in the socket if you know where the zero wire is connected. I use this method often, relieves static tension, fatigue and the evil eye. You can keep this nail in the outlet constantly and apply it as needed. You can periodically touch the body with your hand, but this is in the case if you have sockets with grounding.

Another tip, when you come from the street, or feel that the house is charged with static tension, take your fingers something – a metal coin, a carnation and hold it, say, to the metal part of the faucet, you will see how a small spark flashes, while you do not feel the shock as usual.
To separate the joke from the right advice, we conclude:
When working inside the computer, it is necessary to remove the static voltage, touching the grounding contact, the masters work with a metal bracelet worn on the hand, which is connected by a long wire to the grounding contact.

Make an outlet with grounding in your apartment.

Not all users have a computer case is grounded, and many of them do not even suspect it. Our usual sockets do not provide for this. If you want to correct this situation, keep in mind:

Firstly, the extender with sockets for the computer must have all sockets with contacts “earth” and, accordingly, three wired connection to the plug is mandatory (extenders on sale meet this requirement, and homemade ones must be connected in accordance with this requirement).

Secondly, the socket (stationary), from which the extension cord is fed to the computer, must also be grounded. There is a small but important point here.

Only in apartments where residents make themselves wiring, there can be sockets with grounding. The fact is that all the previous decades and now in our homes used dual-wire system, zero and phase. Even many industrial facilities use the same system to connect voltage to objects. Therefore, when, for example, a troupe from France or Italy comes on tour and rents any of our theaters, they drag three power cables, phase, zero and “earth” onto our electric shields. And when they see that our electricians plant zero and “ground” under one bolt, and even on the body of the shield, they pull out their eyes in bewilderment. Let us leave them in this perplexity, and read on how to get out of this difficulty at home. It's not just about the computer, it's about kettles, irons, microwaves, etc.

What needs to be done to ground with a two-wire power supply system:

1. It is necessary to replace two contact sockets with three contact sockets, that is, with ground contacts. They are also of our production, and, of course, imported, as they say, “Euro-sockets”.

2. When connecting the socket, determine the zero wire and make a jumper from it to the contact of the socket “ground”.

And there is no problem, nothing more can be done and is not necessary. If you change the wiring, you can pull three wires to the sockets, two of them will actually be “zero”, and connect them as follows: one zero wire to the supply contact of the socket, the other to the contact of the socket “ground”. In the electrical shield, these two wires are connected together and connected to the shield body. So most often connect now washing machines, they are supplied with a separate power supply and install a separate electrical protection.

To check whether there is a ground in the socket, can be as follows.

It is necessary to have a “control” (a cartridge with a light bulb connected to two wires), touch one contact of the “control” before grounding, and alternately insert the second end into the supply contacts of the sockets, in one of the positions the light bulb should light up (when you get to the second end of the phase). If the light bulb does not light up, you do not have a ground and you need to put a jumper as described above.
Since the computer in terms of current consumption does not differ at all from such electrical appliances as a kettle, and an iron, and a vacuum cleaner, etc. - all the above about grounding in sockets applies to any electrical appliance connected to the network that has three contact plugs.

Do not forget and follow the following rules:

1. Limit contact between moving bodies. The body is a point of collection of static charge (initially blocked, having no exit), there is a collection of free electrons. This is especially the case with friction (foot on carpet, etc.).

2. Place a layer of cotton between materials prone to conduct static electricity. Paper, plastics and synthetic materials are efficient generators of static electricity, as well as hair, clothing and shoes from some manufacturers.

3. To walk on carpets, it is necessary to experiment with replacing the soles of home shoes, apply antistatic agents to carpets.

4. When caring for hair, if possible, moisturize and use a hairdryer with a built-in ion emitter.

5. Air humidity plays an important role in the emergence of static electricity.

6. In rooms with good insulation, using air conditioners and heating devices, as a rule, the humidity is low, and the electrostatic effect is quite high. It is necessary: - install an air humidifier - hang a container with water near the heaters - open windows for ventilation.

7. Static charges also accumulate in decent-length wires and cables disconnected from the grid and consumers.

8. When working with sensitive electronic components or with flammable volatile substances, static discharges can cause catastrophic malfunctions in electronic circuits and ignite combustible substances.

Precautions should be taken:

To work with electronics, there are special bracelets that are worn on the wrist and connected to the grounded part of the device. Attention! You can not wear bracelets when working with electronic beam tubes of televisions and monitors.

If you do not have any bracelets, then when working, for example, with a computer, you should not forget to constantly hold or lean against the body of the system unit, which is the “ground” for you and electronic components.

Electrostatic processes are quite difficult to control, for this purpose, professional devices based on the use of alpha-emitting components containing polonium have been created.

Advice:

To reduce shock, touch the less sensitive back of your legs or hands.

With the help of a sprayer with water, moisten the air and carpets.

In order to painlessly remove the charge from the body, you need to pick up a metal object (a bunch of keys) and touch the grounded surface (pipes, heating radiator).

Removing the hair on the legs greatly reduces the occurrence of static electricity. published
