What is the difference between insulated safety shoes and anti-static safety shoes? The following safety shoe manufacturers share how to distinguish between insulated safety shoes and anti-static safety shoes. Let's take a look.
Generally, the resistance is greater than 1012 Ω for insulation, and the greater than 106 is less than 1012 for anti-static. The insulating rubber is non-conductive, the anti-static rubber is electrically conductive, but the resistance value is relatively large, and the standard requirement is between 106 and 109. Most of the anti-static rubber is used in the electronics industry. During use, friction does not generate static electricity, which plays a role in protecting electronic products. Insulated shoes can only be used by maintenance electricians at work to reduce the risk of electric shock. It is generally worn by an electrician to prevent electric shock due to striding voltage and to prevent electric shock due to ground conduction.
Antistatic is a measure of the coefficient between insulation and conduction. Anti-static safety shoes can be worn by ordinary people. Especially in the northern regions, the air is dry in winter, and people can easily accumulate static electricity. Wearing anti-static shoes can prevent people from being exposed to static electricity. Anti-static safety shoes are used to prevent accidents caused by static electricity. It is equipped with anti-static safety shoes and conductive wires on the sole to introduce static electricity from people into the ground. Generally used in special gas, petroleum, petrochemical and other inflammable and explosive places. Because it is mainly used to release the static electricity generated by the body itself.
Anti-static safety shoes are made of insulating rubber and are generally used in electrical installations to prevent electric shock. The anti-static safety shoe has a weak conductive function, which can discharge excess electric charge of the human body through the human body, and guide the earth to avoid electrostatic discharge, thereby eliminating the static electricity of the human body.
The insulated safety shoes are made of an electrically non-conductive insulating material. The shoes are used to isolate the person from the earth, so that even if the person is in contact with the electric conductor, there is no accident that the electric current enters the ground through the body.
