Spray Area /
High Voltage
Equipment
There is a high voltage device
that can induce an electrical
charge on ungrounded objects
which is capable of igniting
coating materials.
Inadequate grounding will
cause a spark hazard. A
spark can ignite many coating
materials and cause a fire
or explosion.
Parts being sprayed and operators in the spray
area must be properly grounded.
Parts being sprayed must be supported on
conveyors or hangers that are properly grounded.
The resistance between the part and earth ground
must not exceed 1 meg ohm. (Refer to NFPA-33,
EN 50177)
Operators must be grounded. Rubber soled
insulating shoes should not be worn. Grounding
straps on wrists or legs may be used to assure
adequate ground contact.
Operators must not be wearing or carrying any
ungrounded metal objects.
When using an electrostatic handgun, operators
must assure contact with the handle of the applicator
via conductive gloves or gloves with the palm section
cut out.
NOTE: REFER TO NFPA-33 EN 50177 OR
SPECIFIC COUNTRY SAFETY CODES
REGARDING PROPER OPERATOR
GROUNDING.
All electrically conductive objects in the spray area,
with the exception of those objects required by the
process to be at high voltage, must be grounded.
Grounded conductive flooring must be provided in
the spray area.
Always turn off the power supply prior to cleaning,
or working on powder system equipment.
Unless specifically approved for use in hazardous
locations, all electrical equipment must be located
outside
Class II, Division 1 or 2, zone 21 or zone
22 hazardous areas, in accordance with NFPA-33.
Do not touch the applicator electrode while it is
energized.
