TANKER TRUCK GROUNDING SYSTEM PROTECTS THREE WAYS
The code-compliant Earth-Rite RTR system is based on tripletechnology to ensure safe static grounding during transfer offlammable products to or from a tanker truck. Termed TRI-Modetechnology, the new system electronically confirms a positiveconnection between the truck and the RTR system and confirms apositive connection between the truck and ground, then constantlymonitors both connections throughout the transfer process. Transfercannot begin until all three modes have confirmed the safety of theconnections and transfer will be interrupted should the systemsense a connection resistance of more than 10 ohms. Unlikeconventional grounding apparatus, the Earth-Rite RTR systemprovides true failsafe grounding confirmation using patentedintrinsically safe electronics and a universal ground clamp.Importantly, the assurance of a low-resistance connectionspecifically from truck to ground eliminates the bypassing of agrounding system by an accidental connection to the loading gantryor other metallic elements of the facility.
