esd simulators

To provide in-depth coverage of ESD testing methods, in this article, we look at another type of ESD testing based on the “Human Body Model” (HBM) method of ESD testing.

If you have to purchase an ESD Simulator, you might as well get as much mileage out of it as you can, right?

A more thorough “in-between calibration cycle” check of the ESD simulator’s output waveform is something every EMC engineer and technician should consider.

ESD simulators a.k.a. “ESD Guns” play an important role in product development and their proper selection and use are considered essential to any EMC test laboratory. The focus of this paper is on ESD simulators that perform testing of complete apparatus in accordance with IEC 61000-4-2 and other system level test standards.
