Purpose
The purpose of this test is to determine whether electrostatic discharges transferred to equipment by personnel contact will damage the EUT or lead to the malfunctioning and degradation of performance.
In service, electrostatic discharges result from charges built up by friction between materials, such as clothing, and inadvertently transferred to equipment by personnel, either directly or indirectly.
This test simulates the above process by the use of a high voltage generator, charge storage capacitor and discharge probe.
