Insulated shoes and anti-static shoes are often used in the work, we must understand the difference between insulated shoes and anti-static shoes.
Generally, the resistance is greater than 1012 Ω for insulation, and greater than 106 for less than 1012 is anti-static. The insulating rubber is non-conductive, and 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.
Anti-static slippers are made of insulating rubber and are generally used in electrical installations to prevent electric shock. The anti-static slippers have a weak conductive function, and can discharge excess electric charge of the human body through the human body, and lead to the earth, avoiding electrostatic discharge caused by charge accumulation, thereby eliminating the static electricity of the human body.
The insulated 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.
Antistatic is a measure of the coefficient between insulation and conduction. Anti-static shoes can be worn by ordinary people. Especially in the northern regions, the air is dry in winter, and people are easy to accumulate static electricity. Wearing anti-static shoes can prevent people from being exposed to static electricity. Anti-static shoes are used to prevent accidents caused by static electricity. It is equipped with anti-static 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 human body, anti-static shoes are not only used in the petrochemical industry, but also widely used in electronic companies such as precision electronics and components, optical instruments, pharmaceutical companies, and so on.
Insulated shoes can only be used by maintenance electricians during 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.
