How to use the electrostatic simulator generators

In any high voltage and electrical noise system, electrostatic simulator generators  immunity is an important aspect of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and a key consideration in selecting current isolation devices. ESD can penetrate the electrical isolation system. It does not involve protective devices on printed circuit boards. The International Standard IEC 61000-4-2 specifies this system level immunity performance. In the typical operating application environment of the end user, the charged human body introduces the discharge behavior into the system through metal tools ESD certification requires contact discharge up to 8000v, so the resulting failure can be either soft functional or physical damage. This is different from the component level of the ESD manikin, where the discharge event of the charged human body is to discharge through the skin to the component IC in the controlled environment of factory production and assembly. The voltage required for ESD certification of manikin is low, and the fault type is hard leakage or physical damage.

In fact, electrostatic simulator generators are not uncommon in the market, especially in the field of electronic equipment production, it is an essential link to use electrostatic simulators to test electric shock tests. Therefore, as enterprise managers and related technicians, it is necessary to have a certain understanding of the use of electrostatic generators. Next, let’s take a look at the relevant introduction.

Preparation before use of electrostatic simulator generators
First of all, the grounding wire of the electrostatic gun in the electrostatic discharge generator needs to be firmly fixed with the grounding iron plate. If the connection is not firm, the risk will be very large. Secondly, the test object needs to be placed on a table with white insulating plate on it, and it can not contact with metal conductive objects.
After placing the electrostatic simulator generators, the next step is to set the parameters of the electrostatic discharge generator. First, turn on the power supply of the electrostatic discharge generator and start the startup screen. When setting parameters, the discharge mode of the electrostatic discharge generator is divided into contact discharge or air gap discharge. Before switching the polarity, you need to select no in the menu of high voltage power on, and then you can switch between positive and negative voltage.
There are four options for the discharge mode of the electrostatic simulator generator, as well as some other parameter options, such as voltage setting, discharge times, time interval and discharge standard.

Specific usage of electrostatic simulator generators
After all the parameters of the electrostatic simulation generators are set, the electrostatic discharge test of the tested object is started. Taking the contact discharge mode as an example, the tapered discharge electrode is used to directly contact the tested object and maintain a certain posture. If there is a coating on the surface of some equipment, the discharge process can be completed through the coating and the conductive substrate during discharge. If the coating on the surface is insulated, It is necessary to change to air gap discharge.

Of course, in addition to making preparations before using the electrostatic simulator and mastering its specific use methods, we should also pay attention to relevant use matters to ensure the safety of operators and the smoothness of the test process. LISUN lauchedESD simulator guns (Electrostatic Discharge Generator/Electrostatic Gun/ESD Guns) is in full compliance with IEC 61000-4-2, EN61000-4-2, ISO10605, GB/T17626.2, GB/T17215.301 and GB/T17215.322.

What is a ESD test?
The static electricity generated by the human body to the object or between two objects may cause the electrical and electronic equipment circuits to malfunction or even be damaged. The ESD generator is designed for the withstanding ESD performance measurement for the assessment of electrical and electronic equipment.
