3Introduction

Underappropriateambientconditions, bothmaterial objectsand even the

human bodyitself can becomecharged withelectrical energy. Thiseffect

isdue to"electrostatics", aphenomenon that hasbeen knownsincethe

earliesttimes.Thalesvon Milet(600 BC)noticed howamberattracted very

light particleswhen it wasrubbed. Touching acharged itemagainst a

conductiveobjectleadstoacharge equalization through aspark

discharge, whichproducesabrief but powerfulelectro-magneticfield.

3.1.Electrostaticdischarge (ESD*)

Thiseffect canbe explained asfollows: Twoinsulating substanceswith

differing dielectricconstantsbecomecharged when rubbed together,i.e.

one materialgiveselectronstothe otherone.Thiseffectisknownas

electrostaticcharging.The samecan happen toaperson.When

somebodywalksaround inadry atmosphereon carpetwhilewearing

shoeswithgood insulating properties, acharge ofseveralthousand volts

can be built up.If,now, that person comesclosetoaconductivesurface,

the charge that heorshe iscarrying flowsawaythroughaheftyspark

discharge.

The high equalizing currentthat flows, and the associated large

electromagneticfieldthat henceresults,can causeelectronicdevices

(computers, terminals, process controllers,vehicleelectronics, solidstate

devices, credit ormemorycards, etc.)tomalfunction orevenbe destroyed.

*ESD= electrostaticdischarge

3.2.Simulation

Asystematicinvestigation of electronicequipmentand installationsto

determine theirelectromagneticcompatibility(EMC)is,today, anecessity

if one isnot prepared tosufferthe economicdisadvantagesthat could

otherwiseensue. Asalogical consequence, appropriatetesting isnowa

legalrequirement forthe saleof electronicproductswithinthe EU.

The ESD-test playsan importantroleinthe range ofinterference

sensitivitytests. It simulatesfrequentlyoccurring effectsand guidesthe

equipmentthrough acombination of high voltage and high frequency

properties.
