How the Electrostatic Air Spray
Gun Works
Gun Works
The air hose supplies air to the spray gun. Part of the air
operates the turbine and the rest of the air atomizes the
fluid being sprayed. The turbine generates power, which
is converted by the power cartridge to supply high volt-
age current to the gun’s electrode.

fluid being sprayed. The turbine generates power, which
is converted by the power cartridge to supply high volt-
age current to the gun’s electrode.
The fluid source supplies fluid to the hose and gun. The
gun must be connected to a voltage isolation system to
maintain voltage at the gun. In an isolation system, the
entire fluid supply is electrostatically charged. The
charged fluid is attracted to the grounded workpiece,
wrapping around and evenly coating all surfaces.

not sustain burning when tested per ASTM Standard
D4206 Sustained Burn Test.
When connected to a voltage isolation system, all of the
fluid in the spray gun, fluid hose, and isolated fluid sup-
ply is charged to high voltage, which means that the sys-
tem has more electrical energy than a solvent-based
system. Therefore, only non-flammable fluids (as
defined on the front cover of this manual) can be
sprayed with the system or be used to clean, flush, or
purge the system.

Precautions must be taken when using electrostatic
waterborne equipment to avoid potential shock hazards.
When the spray gun charges the isolated fluid to high
voltage, it is similar to charging a capacitor or a battery.
The system will store some of the energy while spraying
and retain some of that energy after the spray gun is
shut off. It is not safe to touch the front end of the gun
until the stored energy is discharged. The amount of
time it takes to discharge the energy depends on the
system design. Follow the Fluid Voltage Discharge
and Grounding Procedure on page 20 before
approaching the front of the gun.
