ROAD TANKER EARTHING SYSTEM PROTECTS THREE WAYS

Listen to this article

Newson Gales new Earth-Rite RTR (Road Tanker Recognition) uses innovative patented technology which ensures the safest levels of static earthing for road tankers available today.

This new technology, called Tri-Mode technology, performs three independent checks critical for the safe control of static before and during the transfer process:

– Confirms a positive connection between the road tanker and the RTR system.

– Confirms a positive connection between the road tanker and earth.

– Confirms the clamp and earth connections are maintained throughout the transfer process (Continuous Loop Monitoring).

Transfer cannot begin until all three modes have confirmed the safety of the connections and transfer will be interrupted should the system sense a connection resistance of more than 10 ohms.

Unlike conventional static earthing systems, the Earth-Rite RTR provides true failsafe earthing confirmation using patented intrinsically safe electronics. Importantly, the assurance of a low-resistance connection specifically from truck to ground eliminates the bypassing of the system by an accidental connection to the loading gantry or other metallic structural elements in the loading area.
