ESD – THE INVISIBLE DANGER – WHAT DOES ESD MEAN? – – – ESD stands for electrostatic discharge. It is caused by the sudden equalisation of charge between objects with a different charge potential. This discharge can generate a large amount of electrical current. HOW IS ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE GENERATED? Every object has positive and negative elementary particles. Positive and negative charges normally neutralise each other. Objects are electrically neutral. However, if an object loses electrons, an imbalance arises. POTENTIALAUSGLEICH + 35.000 + + 20.000 + This imbalance is called the charge potential. Charged objects have a tendency to equalise by discharging. In the event of a sudden discharge, high currents flow in a small electronic component. 18.000 12.000 7.000 6.000 1.500 1.200 600 250 Work on the workbench Papers in plastic cover Run over linoleum Padded chair plastic bag Run over the carpet SOURCE 100 VOLT ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE AND THEIR POSSIBLE CAUSE air humidity 10-20% air humidity 65-90%
