Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013006348A1] A method is specified for monitoring the operational reliability of at least one passive electrode for the purpose of neutralizing surface charges. In order to ensure an effective explosion protection and personal protection, the inventive method provides the use of at least one measuring electrode to apply a measuring electric field strength to an ionization region, and to detect an ionization current flow through this ionization region.
