Static electricity is initially harmless and unavoidable, but it can quickly become a danger if it occurs in an <strong>explosive <\/strong> atmosphere <strong>. <\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n<p>In such cases, the<strong> risks of static electricity <\/strong>must be analyzed and an action plan drawn up to ensure the long-term safety of your equipment and personnel.  <\/p>\n\n<p>What is static electricity? What are the factors involved in electrostatic discharge accidents? How can I protect myself against ATEX risks? We explain.     <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is static electricity?<\/h2>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><strong> Electricity<\/strong> refers to the movement of electrical charges. Every object or material is made up of atoms, which are themselves charged with electrons.   <\/p>\n\n<p>The latter revolve around the nucleus, which in turn is made up of protons and neutrons. The electric charge of the whole is considered <strong>neutral. <\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/adf-systemes.fr\/en\/static-electricity-and-risks-in-potentially-explosive-atmospheres\/\">Static electricity (SE)<\/a> refers to an <strong>imbalance of electrical charges<\/strong> inside or on the surface of one or more objects. When two materials rub against each other, some of the electrons are stripped from the atoms and accumulate on the surface of one or the other.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Because they remain momentarily on the surface of materials, they form what is known as <strong>static or stationary<\/strong> (i.e. immobile) <strong>electricity<\/strong>, present most of the time in small quantities.  <\/p>\n\n<p>This can sometimes take the form of sparks, visible only to the naked eye and fortunately harmless. This phenomenon is known as<strong> electrostatic discharge (ESD <\/strong>)<strong>. <\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n<p>The more insulating an object is, the more charge it can accumulate, and the greater the risk of<strong> electric shock. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/adf.majoliedemo.com\/7154-tout-ce-que-vous-devez-savoir-le-guide-ultime?neo_campaign=guide-gratuit&amp;neo_medium=click_popup&amp;uuid=9cb08676-4e44-4d7f-bedd-511509558032\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"269\" data-src=\"https:\/\/adf-systemes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/banniere-adf-guide-1024x269.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7044 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/adf-systemes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/banniere-adf-guide-980x258.webp 980w, https:\/\/adf-systemes.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/banniere-adf-guide-480x126.webp 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/269;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the risks of static electricity?  <\/h2>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Although invisible, static electricity represents a major <strong>material and human risk<\/strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/adf-systemes.fr\/en\/how-to-determine-an-atex-zone-en-60079-10-1\/\">ATEX zones<\/a>.
