ESD 30N

Electrostatic discharges either from a human body to any other part or between two different objects can cause persistent disturbances or even destruction to sensitive electronics or controls.
ESD 30N is an ESD tester to simulate ESD pulses at higher voltages up to 30kV in both air and contact discharge mode. It therefore satisifies requirements exceeding the EN/IEC 61000-4-2 test levels and complies to automotive test applications.

The ESD 30N electrostatic discharge simulator is an easy-to-use tester. It consists of a power supply unit and the discharge gun, operated from the discharge gun. It generates electrostatic discharges up to 30kV in both air and contact discharge mode. The discharge tips can easily be changed. The discharge networks can be easily changed as they are plugged into the discharge gun. The actual discharge network in use is recognised by the controls and indicated in the display.

The ESD 30N is either mains supplied or supplied by a DC source. Even battery powered operation is possible. Battery operation becomes relevant for testing e.g. as per DC-11224 or VW TL 824 66, ESD Operating Test, where the ground of the ESD generator is connected to the Field Coupling Plane and the Horizontal Coupling plane but not directly to the Reference Ground Plane. Additionally, a fiber optic link is offered as an option to communicate with the ESD 30N separating the sensitive computer from the test set-up and to avoid ground loops.

esd.control goes far beyond being just a remote control and documentation software. It is your ESD Test Manager from A to Z. It covers the preparation of the test (definition of the test plan, including all test points and the generation of test notes), test routine programming, collection of test data and full documentation of every step. esd.control is the state-of-the-art software tool for ESD testing.

An optional fiber optic link is offered to communicate with the ESD 30N separating the sensitive computer from the test set-up and to avoid ground loops.

The EM TEST ESD simulator series also includes the dito. dito is a battery powered ESD tester based on the latest technology and with outstanding performance. Complemented by its esd.control software both ESD 30N and dito become a real ESD test system supporting the user from planning the test until full documentation of the test results.
