The elimination of electrostatic charges, especially on material webs is critical to preventing ignition hazards and personal injury hazards in industry. The use of discharge bars (called "ionizers") is an important method for eliminating electrostatic charges. The possibility of electrostatic discharge in a production machine is real. The metrological detection of charges on material webs is also discussed and the special phenomenon of a super brush discharge is described. A useful arrangement for active ionizers is described and justified.
