Installation
Correct positioning of the bar is vital for efficient operation. The bar should be
positioned directly opposite an earthed point/plate or a bar of opposite polarity. Non-
conductive materials passing between the Generator bar and earth, or bar of opposite
polarity, will be pinned together. The bar should typically be positioned 30 to 50mm
away from the nearest earthed object but this is subject to set up conditions. If the
generator ‘trips’ the bar has been positioned too close to and ground reference.
The bar should be positioned away from any other ground reference point. These
may disrupt the ion stream and reduce the effectiveness of the bar and the degree of
pinning achieved on the process material.
