Safety is never an after thought with high voltage and high energy storage equipment. With their integral array of HVR High Energy Disk resistors, our HV Resistive Safety Groundsticks offer a secure, reliable means to discharge potentially lethal energy from HV equipment. These Groundsticks are customconfigured to your application, with voltage ratings exceeding 100kV and energy dissipation exceeding 100kJ. Our vast experience, pre-designed components and high energy resistor modeling software make it easy for you to specify a custom-engineered solution quickly and at a very attractive cost.
 
 
 
 

1. Determine your electrical requirements:

• Total stored energy in joules
• Peak voltage
• Discharge resistance, (based on max recommended current and max discharge time)

 
 

2. Design your custom resistor array using 32mm or 50mm HV disk:

• Energy capacity at least =Total stored energy + derating factor
• Resistance to limit current <20A peak recommended
• Peak voltage within limits based on resistance (from chart)
• Maintain manageable size, mass
• Verify proposed design using custom assembly thermal modeling on our website:

   (start from High Energy Disk product page, click on the part number in the table)

 
 

3. Select mechanical options to meet your application:

• Probe style
• Safety guard
• Ground wire termination hardware
• Any other special requirements
