What is Truck Grounding or Railcar Grounding and Why is it Necessary?
On cold, dry afternoons, walking across a carpet to open the front door can create a spark that jumps between the hand and the doorknob. That release of electricity comes from a buildup of static electricity in the human body that can reach an 10-15 kV (kilovolts). The discharge of that voltage can measure just 20-30 mJ (milliJoule), well above the threshold for igniting propane, gasoline vapors, or even fine dust particles.
