  • Page 7: Grounding

    Powder Pilot™ HD P/N 7192721_02 Grounding WARNING: Operating faulty electrostatic equipment is hazardous and can cause electrocution, fire, or explosion. Make resistance checks part of your periodic maintenance program. If you receive even a slight electrical shock or notice static sparking or arcing, shut down all electrical or electrostatic equipment immediately.
  • Page 8: Pe (Protective Earth) Grounding

    Electrostatic discharges occur at very high frequencies, around 100 megahertz. An ordinary ground conductor does not conduct such high frequencies well enough to prevent damage to electronic components. Special flat braided cables are provided with your Nordson powder coating equipment to protect against ESD. Page | 8...
  • Page 9 Powder Pilot™ HD P/N 7192721_02 Gun Current Path Refer to Figure 1. All electrical circuits need a complete path for current to make its way back to the source (circle=circuit). Electrostatic spray guns emit current (ions) and therefore require a complete circuit. Some of the current emitted by the spray gun is attracted to the spray booth, but most is attracted to the grounded parts moving through the booth.
  • Page 10 Always use the special flat braided copper ESD ground cables furnished with all Nordson spray gun controllers to ground them. The ESD ground cables should always be attached to the welded booth base, not to a panel, enclosure, or other component bolted to the base.
