Waldmann ESD-luminaires smooth discharge protects valuable components.
Waldmann ESD-luminaires are designed and manufactured using methods that eliminate an electrostatic build-up and controls discharge. Plastics present a significant danger. They are insulators and cannot normally conduct electricity.
The use of special plastics has made it possible to reach the necessary discharge ability for electrostatic charges. It is not recommended to equip the luminaires with any conductive materials, especially metal. An electrostatic build-up is conducted through metal at high speed, and this dramatically increases the risk of a harmful spark discharge.
The grounding of the luminaire components is equally as important as the use of anti-static materials. Without a functional ground, the use of the best materials is ineffective.
All Waldmann ESD-luminaires have been ap-proved by the internationally respected Swedish institution SP. A copy of the certificate is available upon re-quest from Waldmann.
The housing, the magnifier frame and the joints of the Waldmann luminaires are molded from special plastics. All steel and aluminium parts are specially treated to ensure a controlled electrostatic discharge.
