Dear customer,
The new Series R50 and R51A discharging bars are designed for the
active discharging of disruptive static charges which develop in production
processes. The bars are operated with an alternating voltage of 5 kV to
max. 8 kV at 50…60 Hz and are designed for discharging moving sur-
faces.
Due to differences in the surface charge profiles on different materials,
charges with both polarities are provided by the discharging bars. The
corona section with its optimized geometrical configuration ensures ulti-
mate discharging efficiency.
The advantages of the R50 / R51A discharging bars:
• ultimate discharging range and hence enhanced depth effect
• high active discharging power through patented, isolated ground
conductors
• high safety standards through passive discharging power with deacti-
vated power supplies
• safety through function and malfunction monitoring
• continuous assembly slotting guarantees flexible installation
• no health hazards in case of electric shocks when touching individual
tips (≤10 tips)
The optimum discharging effect is guaranteed in conjunction with the Eltex
high voltage power supplies.
Please read the operating instructions carefully before operating the unit.
This will help you prevent personal injuries and damage to property.
Please give us a call if you have any suggestions, proposals or ideas for
improvements. We greatly appreciate the feedback from the users of our
appliances.
