For over 30 years, Newson Gale has been leading the way in hazardous area static grounding control, serving industries where processes generating static electricity have the potential to ignite flammable or combustible atmospheres.
Newson Gale Develops and manufactures a range of hardware solutions dedicated to ensuring static electricity is not an ignition source in potentially flammable and combustible atmospheres. Ranging from the unloading of road tanker trucks to the emptying of hand held cans Newson Gale has a solution for virtually every process of generating static electricity
National codes of practice such as NFPA77 provide guidelines for the effective control of static electricity, involving grounding and bonding all conductive and static dissipative plant and equipment in explosive atmospheres to prevent charge accumulation.
• NFPA 77 “Recommended Practice on Static Electricity” (2014).
• API 2003 “Protection Against Ignitions Arising out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents” (2015).
To help control these risks, Newson Gale offers a wide range of static grounding and bonding equipment which is made to provide optimum safety in explosive atmospheres and other hazardous operating environments. The Newson Gale® range prevents static charge accumulation by using practical and innovative design, and ensures effective static control on three levels: -
• Earth-Rite series of static ground indicators and interlock systems;
• Bond-Rite series of self -testing static grounding clamp units; and
• Cen-Stat series of static grounding and bonding clamps, cables, reels and test instrument

Is your company prepared for energy price volatility, uncertainty and expected increases?
Supported by state-based incentives, on-site solar energy presents an opportunity for Illinois-based facilities to save significant costs on their electric bill while hedging against looming energy shortfalls and associated price escalation.
• System-wide energy demands are growing rapidly, driven by new data centers and other market factors, while traditional generation sources are going off-line, creating volatility and uncertainty.
• State incentives effectively lower the cost of going solar or adding battery storage, making it highly competitive with utility-supplied electricity.
• The electricity produced displaces electricity that would otherwise be purchased from the utility, however, the company remains “on the grid.”
• The most popular approach is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), where the customer locks in a flat long-term rate for electricy with no capital expense or O&M costs, allowing for immediate savings
• Ideal customers have either available open ground or an unobstructed roof.
• Annual capacity under the incentive program is limited and offered firstcome-first-served.
