ABSTRACT:
The detection of components that cause p-static interference with communications and navigation equipment is essential to the maintenance of an aircraft. A p-static source locator uses two leads to supply a voltage between components of the aircraft. If the components are not properly electrically bonded, a radio receiver detects the p-static interference created when sparking occurs between the inadequately bonded components. The p-static source locator may be implemented in a single hand-held unit that is simple to transport and use. Moreover, the locator uses low voltage potential differences for operator safety.
