Page 46: Background Knowledge About Electrostatic Testing
BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ELECTROSTATIC TESTING Principle of electrostatic tester The basic circuit of an electrostatic is shown below. The high voltage generated in the high voltage power supply is charged in the charging capacitor through the charging relay and charging resistance. When the charging relay is turned off and the discharging relay is turned on, the high voltage (electric charge) accumulated in the charging capacitor is applied to EUT through the discharging resistance. - Page 47 12. BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ELECTROSTATIC TESTING Contact Discharge and Air Discharge The electrostatic discharge can be applied either by direct contact (CONTACT) or via the air (AIR). The test procedure and electrostatic simulator operation are different in each case, as described below. The effect on the EUT is also different. Contact discharge (CONTACT) The electrostatic discharge is applied by placing the discharge tip in direct contact with the case of the EUT (if the case is painted, the paint is peeled off to...
