What is the minimum length of the 'no hold zone' on a static discharge wand?
Correct Answer:
16 inches
Explanation:
The no-hold zone on a static discharge wand is the portion of the wand you should not grip because it can be energized during discharge. Keeping your hands behind this zone ensures you stay clear of the discharge path and any possible arcing, protecting you during the neutralization of static on the load. The minimum length for this zone is sixteen inches, which provides a safe distance between your hand and the discharge point under normal operating conditions. This distance balances safety with practicality—too short a zone could put your hand in the discharge area, while longer lengths aren’t required by standard procedures and would make handling more cumbersome.
