#Electrostatic discharge

[mad-scientist-enthusiast]

This week I witnessed the dangers of electrostatic discharge in action which broke at least two outlets AND my favorite necklace.

Despite knowing exactly how and why it happened, I have no choice but to believe I am a wizard with a magical amulet that destroys electronics with my kickass sparks.

If you disagree with me, your outlets will be next. Do not underestimate the power I wield with my amulet.

What Is ESD Flooring

Certain types of facilities, especially those dealing with sensitive electronic devices, require flooring that can control electrostatic discharge. A specific kind of flooring called ESD flooring is most suitable for these set ups as they help protect equipment and areas from damage caused by static electricity. 

ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) flooring is designed to prevent & eliminate static electric charges where sophisticated electronics systems are operated, manufactured, assembled, or repaired. Commonly used inside air traffic control towers, electronics manufacturing facilities, computer labs, hospitals, and radio stations, ESD is a grounded, static dissipative floor or conductive floor covering with an electrical resistance between 2.5 x 104 to 1.0 x 109 Ohms.

Understanding the Pareto principle in terms of maintenance

In our previous segments, we have discussed several aspects of Lubricant contamination and ways to prevent or treat that contamination. But, as we all know that for every company the maintenance budget is limited so focusing on all the factors is not possible.

In such cases, The Pareto Principle comes handy.

The Pareto Principle (also known as the 80/20 rule ) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. In terms of maintenance, it can be reflected upon as 20% of Machines cause 80% of the Downtime.

Few key causes that constitute this 20% are:

Particle Contamination

Moisture Contamination

Wrong/Degraded Lubricant

Misalignment

Imbalance

High Temperature

2024-08-16, First Storm Since December

Electrical storm activity can be deadly. I never venture away from home to shoot lightning. Nowhere is 100% safe from overhead lightning activity – not even inside the house or the sheltered veranda where I view the storm. I avoid getting wet and always wear rubber-sole shoes. Finally an evening storm! There had been several electrical storms earlier in the year but none had been suitable for…
