Abstract
The hazards of fire and explosion are ever present in many industrial processes, awaiting only a spark to bring disaster — and static electricity can and often does provide the spark. The limitations of grounding as a universal remedy and the need for expert analysis of the problem are emphasized in this article, which is the last of five based on a series of lectures on the subject which was sponsored by the power and industrial group of the AIEE New York Section during the 1943–44 season.
