Abstract

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause digital industrial equipment (DINE) to malfunction or even break down. To assess the impact of ESD, it is important to know the statistical characteristics of the current and voltage parameters on the body of equipment being tested. An installation that allows attaining these parameters is proposed. The experimental current and voltage parameters of ESD are measured at various capacitances of the DINE body and various ground resistances at voltages from 2 to 25 kV. The results of measuring the voltage increment rate, the maximal and the average rate of voltage change, and the rate of current change in an air ESD can be used to forecast the effect of ESD on equipment.
