Is the tank truck properly grounded? The Earth-Rite RTR can guarantee that it is properly grounded!
The Earth-Rite RTR is a device that can prevent accidents caused by grounding work during filling and discharging operations in tank truck vehicles. For example, during the filling operation of a tank truck, the operator may connect the grounding wire to an incorrect grounding point on the tank truck, or the grounding wire may become disconnected during liquid transport. In such cases, the tank truck can become charged to 10-30 kV within 15-50 seconds. This level is sufficient to cause ignition or explosion due to static electricity. The Earth-Rite RTR continuously monitors to ensure that the grounding connection is correct and that the grounding resistance is appropriate. If there is a problem with the connection status, it can issue an alarm to the upper side via internal contact output (interlock function). This signal allows the customer’s equipment to stop the pump or sound a siren.

basic information
Earth-Rite RTR will not release the interlock if the ground wire is connected to a location other than the correct grounding point of the tank truck. Even if it is connected to the correct grounding point of the tank truck, if the ground wire becomes disconnected or the alligator clip comes off during liquid transport, the interlock will immediately activate. The interlock will also function if there is a problem on the grounding equipment side. It prevents ignition or explosion accidents caused by static electricity, which would not occur as long as grounding is reliably established.
