Electrostatic discharges

Rittal Online Seminar – EMC basics

 
« back 7/9 continue »

 

Electrostatic charges occur through contact/friction between solids and lead to:

  • continued storage of the charge in case of insulating surfaces, with
  • increased potential (up to 15,000 V when walking across an office floor);
  • rapid discharge to conductive surfaces - ESD (electrostatic discharge).

Electrostatic discharges can damage or destroy components directly through the discharge current, or indirectly through the generation of line-borne or field-borne interference.
