Estimation of Potential Gradient from Discharge Current through Hand-Held Metal Piece from Charged Human Body
Summary :
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) events due to metal objects electrified with low voltages give a fatal electromagnetic interference to high-tech information equipment. In order to elucidate the mechanism, with a 6-GHz digital oscilloscope, we previously measured the discharge current due to collision of a hand-held metal piece from a charged human body, and gave a current calculation model. In this study, based on the calculation model, a method was presented for deriving a gap potential gradient from the measured discharge current. Measurements of the discharge currents were made for charge voltages from 200 V to 1000 V. The corresponding potential gradients were estimated, which were validated in comparison with an empirical formula based on the Paschen's law together with other researcher's experimental results.
