ASSEMBLY System Grounding Static electricity is generated by the collision of dust particles as they travel through dust collec- tion ducting. Plastic ducting acts as an insulator, allowing the static charge to build. The build-up of electricity will eventually discharge to the nearest available grounding source. The dis- charge will be in the form of a spark (arc) of electricity that has the potential to ignite air- borne dust, causing a fire or explosion hazard. Therefore, your dust collection
