Abstract

Electricity is considered one of the most important sources of energy and driving force and is used in most aspects of life, but despite the many benefits of electricity, it has some risks to humans and materials if it is not used according to sound technical principles and according to its safety instructions, as any negligence in taking safety and security precautions Electricity may lead to fatal accidents for individuals and facilities.
It is known that the presence of a static particle charged with an electric charge near a charge or a group of other static charges causes it to be affected by a force that makes the space surrounding it an area of its influence or a field of its influence. .
The research relied on the production of samples on the jacquard machine, and 12 samples were implemented with different weave compositions and different weft densities. The research samples included three different densities of wefts (36 edging / cm-45 edging / cm-55 edging / cm). (Masters 1/1 - Atlas 8 - Hanicum - Pica), then the histological tests were done for the executed samples, and these tests include (thickness - weight - tensile strength - elongation - air permeability - water permeability - static electricity). The tests were done at the National Research Center and included histological tests
The results of the tests were analyzed.
