Vehicles carrying inflammable fluids often drag a chain along the ground to dissipate static electricity that could build up during travel. This helps prevent sparks that could potentially ignite the flammable fluids, reducing the risk of fire or explosion.

Shire horses are used in some forests because they do less damage to the ground than heavy vehicles. Heavy tractors, tracked vehicles, etc. tend to tear up the ground. The horse can tow a felled tree trunk along forest tracks too narrow for motorised vehicles, to reach a wider forest road, to be loaded on to lorries.

Is a ground wire considered a conductor when figuring on amount of conductors in a pipe?

In the CEC, if pipe fill is used using table 6, ground wires are not included in the count. If pipe fill is used using cross sectional area of conductors and pipe then the ground wire must be included along with the current carrying conductors. A continuous metallic conduit system is considered a ground return path for fault currents.


Why do lorries some lorries need to be earthed?

Lorries that transport inflammable liquids, gases and powders must be earthed. This is because when a lorry drives along the road the rubbing of it's tires against the tarmac creates an electrostatic charge build up on the metal chassis of the vehicle. When unloading the load from the lorry this charge may be released and cause a spark as it tries to reach ground. In turn this spark can ignite the inflammable substance and potentially be very dangerous. By eathing the lorry the charge will not create a spark as it tries to dissapate into the earth instead it will go through the path of least resistance (whichever way the lorry is earthed) and be safely discharged.
