Passive grounding

Simple electrostatic grounding without monitoring

Available in different versions, the passive Eltex ground clamps are used in all applications that require electrostatic discharge to be dissipated but do not permit the use of active grounding units. Sharp teeth and a permanently high closing force ensure optimum contact, even with painted or dirty surfaces.

The passive Eltex cable reels are the ideal accessories for the passive ground clamps and ensure safe storage of the ground cable and clamp. When using the passive ground clamps, make sure that the grounding point selected for connection complies with the relevant standards and directives with regard to the leakage resistance.

If you would rather avoid the testing effort required for passive grounding, use a safe alternative: the Eltex TERRALIGHT battery-operated grounding system

Passive ground clamps

  • Clamps TERRA-C/P, 70OK and 70PK
  • Passive Eltex ground clamps from the 70 and the TERRACLAMP series make it easy to establish connections. The clamps are used when decanting or filling potentially explosive materials. Electrostatic charges are discharged effectively
  • Passive ground clamps from the TERRA-C/P, 70SG, 70PG, 70OK and 70PK series have extremely hard and sharp gripper jaws that can penetrate any coating. The clamps have a continuously high clamping force, which always ensures a secure connection to the potential equalization at all times
  • In addition, the TERRA-C/POS, 70SG and 70PK grounding clamps have a plug-in-connector for a simple connection to the passive grounding cable, spiral cable and rewinding cable reels
  • Product features:
  • Use in Ex areas, Zone 1 + 2 (21 + 22)
  • Various versions and sizes

601KR/EW, 601KR/BW

  • Cable rewinders, passive grounding
  • In addition to the well-known 601KR/BW passive rewinding cable reel with 9 m grounding cable in a plastic casing, the 601KR/EW rewinding cable reel is available in an impact-resistant aluminum casing and can hold a grounding cable of up to 12 m. These reels can be used in Zones 1 and 21. Both reels are designed for wall mounting, but the 601KR/EW can also be swivel-mounted using a mounting bracket
  • A coupling plug can be used to easily connect the passive 70SG and 70PK clamps with the coupling bushing of the grounding cable

Ground cables for passive grounding

  • TERRACOMPACT II
  • The prefabricated Eltex ground cables for passive grounding ensure an easy-to-install connection between the ground tester and grounding point (equipotential bonding rail). One side has a ring eyelet for a fixed connection to a grounding point. An IP67 plug-in coupling is installed for connection to the ground tester
  • The passive ground cables are supplied in the color orange and are available as standard ground cables or spiral ground cables. The standard cables are available in lengths of 5 to 95 m in 5 m increments, while the spiral cables come in the length 5 m (stretched)
  • Product features:
  • Cable color orange, 3-core for high protection from cable breaks
  • High mechanical strength, high resistance to a variety of chemicals
