Introduction With the rapid development of electronic technology and manufacturing, the impact of static electricity on production processes has become increasingly significant. Especially in industries requiring high precision such as semiconductor manufacturing and electronic product assembly, static electricity not only affects product quality but can also lead to equipment damage and safety incidents. The LISUN Electrostatic Discharge ESD , as a specialized testing tool, plays an important role in improving product yield and ensuring production safety. Static electricity is a common phenomenon that occurs when two materials come into contact and then separate. This process causes electrons to transfer from one material to another, resulting in charge accumulation. In industrial settings, this charge can build up on machinery, components, or even people, leading to various issues. The LISUN electrostatic discharge esd provides a controlled environment for simulating these conditions, allowing engineers and researchers to study the effects of static electricity and develop effective countermeasures. In addition to its practical applications, understanding the theoretical basis of electrostatic discharge esd is crucial. Static electricity arises due to triboelectric charging, where materials acquire charges through friction. These charges can accumulate over time and create significant hazards if not properly managed. The LISUN ESD generator helps simulate these conditions in a controlled manner, enabling detailed analysis and mitigation strategies. ESD-883D_AL Overview of Electrostatic Effects Electrostatic effects refer to the influence of the electrostatic field formed by static charges around charged bodies on surrounding media. The electrostatic field is usually uneven, which causes polarized medium particles (such as dust) to be attracted towards the charged body due to electrostatic forces. Thus, regardless of the polarity of the charge on the charged body, it can attract originally uncharged dust particles. In semiconductor production workshops, the presence of static electricity makes it easy for dust to adhere to chips, severely impacting the quality of integrated circuits. The application of LISUN electrostatic discharge esd significantly improves the yield rate of integrated circuits, especially in the manufacturing process of ultra-large-scale integrated circuits. To illustrate this point, consider a case study from a semiconductor fabrication facility. During the production of microchips, static electricity caused dust particles to adhere to the surface of wafers, leading to defects and reduced yields. By implementing the LISUN electrostatic discharge esd, the facility was able to simulate the conditions under which static electricity accumulated and developed protocols for minimizing dust adherence, ultimately improving the yield rate by 15%. In addition to attracting dust, static electricity can also cause other problems. For example, in the textile industry, static electricity causes silk to float and stick together, leading to broken threads and entanglement issues during weaving. Additionally, static electricity generated from friction between rubber rollers and yarn reduces the combing ability of fabrics, affecting product quality and production efficiency. In powder processing industries, static electricity can cause sieve hole blockages, obstruct air conveying pipelines, and even affect the normal operation of ball mills. In printing and plastic film packaging production, static electricity can result in paper separation and improper stacking, or even produce static ink spots, bringing difficulties to automated production. Moreover, static electricity can pose serious hazards in environments where flammable substances are present. For instance, in chemical plants, static electricity can ignite flammable gases or liquids, leading to catastrophic accidents. Therefore, understanding and controlling static electricity is crucial for ensuring workplace safety. Thermal Effects of Electrostatic Discharge ESD Electrostatic discharge esd (ESD) is typically a rapid process that can be completed within nanoseconds or microseconds, thus it can be considered an adiabatic process. In the air, ESD instantly ionizes the air and forms localized high-temperature heat sources accompanied by substantial current flow. Such localized heat sources may trigger combustion and explosions of flammable gases, especially in chemical and electronic manufacturing industries. Moreover, the instantaneous large currents produced by electrostatic discharge esd could cause accidental ignition of explosives like gunpowder and electric detonators, leading to severe explosion accidents. In the field of microelectronics technology, the electrostatic discharge esd process releases electrostatic energy through device resistance within one-tenth of a microsecond, reaching instantaneous power levels up to several kilowatts. This high-power short-pulse current acting on devices might melt small areas on silicon wafers, causing local balling of aluminum connections, and even burning PN junction metal connections, forming destructive thermal breakdowns, ultimately resulting in circuit damage and failure. The LISUN electrostatic discharge esd can simulate these conditions, helping engineers identify potential issues and take preventive measures, thereby enhancing product reliability. For example, in semiconductor fabrication facilities, electrostatic discharge esd events can destroy sensitive components, leading to costly repairs and downtime. By using the LISUN electrostatic discharge esd, manufacturers can test their products under controlled conditions, identifying weak points and implementing protective measures before they reach the market. One notable case involves a manufacturer producing high-performance memory chips. During initial testing phases, frequent electrostatic discharge esd events led to significant yield losses. By integrating the LISUN electrostatic discharge esd into their quality assurance process, the company was able to refine their designs and improve their electrostatic discharge esd protection mechanisms, resulting in a 20% increase in yield rates. Strong Electric Field Effects of Static Charges The accumulation of static charges on object surfaces creates high voltages relative to the ground and generates strong electric fields in the surroundings. The presence of strong electric fields can pose serious hazards to circuits, especially near high-voltage equipment and sensitive electronic components. Overvoltage or strong electric fields can cause insulation breakdown, leading to equipment damage or system failures. The LISUN electrostatic discharge esd not only generates high-intensity electric fields but also provides detailed electric field distribution analysis, enabling researchers to better understand the interaction mechanisms between electric fields and materials, thereby optimizing designs and reducing fault risks. One notable case involves a factory producing printed circuit boards (PCBs). During the manufacturing process, static charges accumulated on conveyor belts and handling equipment, creating strong electric fields that interfered with the delicate electronics being assembled. By introducing the LISUN electrostatic discharge esd, the factory was able to simulate these conditions and implement grounding and shielding solutions, significantly reducing defects and improving overall product quality. Additionally, in aerospace applications, where components must withstand extreme conditions, the LISUN electrostatic discharge esd plays a critical role in ensuring robustness against electromagnetic interference. For instance, avionics systems require stringent ESD protection to prevent malfunction in flight. Through rigorous testing with the LISUN electrostatic discharge esd, aerospace companies can ensure their systems meet the highest standards of reliability and performance. Electromagnetic Pulse Effects of Electrostatic Discharge ESD The ESD process involves instantaneous changes in electrical potential and current, producing electromagnetic radiation. Whether it’s corona discharge with small amounts of charge or spark discharges with larger quantities, both generate electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic pulses (EMP) produced by electrostatic discharge esd can interfere with various electronic devices and information systems, particularly in aviation, aerospace, and maritime sectors. Brush discharges and spark discharges are relatively high-energy electrostatic discharge esd processes, with peak currents reaching hundreds of amperes, forming EMP bursts that cause strong electromagnetic interference and surge effects on microelectronic systems. This can lead to erroneous flips or fatal faults in circuits. Even with comprehensive shielding measures, when static spark discharges occur on circuit shield boxes, the large current pulses from electrostatic discharge esd still induce significant voltage drops on the instrument casing, potentially causing internal circuits to sense current pulses, triggering circuit failures. The LISUN ESD generator aids in detecting and assessing the electromagnetic interference resistance of systems, ensuring stable operation of critical systems. A real-world example of this effect occurred in an aerospace facility where sensitive avionics were being tested. An unexpected ESD event caused by personnel movement disrupted the onboard computer systems, leading to temporary malfunction. Using the LISUN electrostatic discharge esd, engineers were able to replicate the conditions and refine their shielding techniques, preventing future incidents. Furthermore, in the automotive industry, where electronic control units (ECUs) are essential for modern vehicles, ESD can cause malfunctions that compromise vehicle safety. The LISUN ESD generator allows automotive manufacturers to rigorously test ECUs under simulated ESD conditions, ensuring they remain functional and reliable under real-world scenarios. Human Body Electrostatic Shock Effects When a person approaches an electrostatically insulated conductor or grounded metal object, if the strength of the electrostatic field exceeds the breakdown field strength of air, static spark discharges will occur. Instantaneous large currents passing through the human body or parts thereof cause shocks. Although electrostatic shocks generally do not cause serious injuries in daily life and industrial production, they can lead to discomfort such as numbness in fingers or panic. To reduce such incidents, enterprises should adopt appropriate protective measures, such as wearing anti-static clothing and using anti-static wristbands, ensuring worker safety. The LISUN ESD generator can simulate different shock scenarios to study human reactions to static electricity, providing scientific basis for developing effective protection strategies. In a semiconductor manufacturing plant, workers experienced frequent electrostatic shocks while handling sensitive components. After implementing the LISUN ESD generator for training purposes, employees learned how to minimize static buildup and safely handle components, reducing incidents of electrostatic shocks and improving overall safety. Moreover, in healthcare settings, where electronic medical devices are prevalent, ESD can pose significant risks. Hospitals and clinics utilize the LISUN ESD generator to ensure that their equipment remains safe and functional, protecting both patients and staff from potential hazards. Application Cases of LISUN ESD Generator In practical applications, the LISUN ESD generator is widely used across multiple industries to address various issues caused by static electricity.

According to Ohm’s law, the insulation resistance (R) can be calculated as the ratio of the applied voltage (V) to the measured current (I), i.e.,R=V/I ​ The tester has a specific voltage range for the insulation resistance test, which is DC100 – 1000V. When the voltage is applied, if the insulation is in good condition, the leakage current will be very small, indicating a high insulation resistance. However, if there are defects in the insulation, such as cracks, moisture ingress, or aging, the leakage current will increase, resulting in a lower insulation resistance value.

Introduction In the modern era of rapid development of electronic technology, the electromagnetic environment has become increasingly complex. As a result, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) has emerged as a significant concern for electronic products. The ability of electronic devices to coexist without interfering with each other in the same electromagnetic environment is crucial for their reliable operation. Among the various EMC testing methods, the Bulk Current Injection Test System (BCI) has gained wide recognition and application. The BCI test system is designed to simulate the electromagnetic interference (EMI) that electronic products may encounter in real – world scenarios, especially the interference coupled into cables. By injecting a controlled amount of current into the cable harness of the device under test (DUT), engineers can evaluate how the DUT responds to electromagnetic interference and identify potential EMC problems. This helps manufacturers improve the electromagnetic compatibility of their products, ensuring they meet the relevant EMC standards and regulations. The LISUN LSBCI – 40 Bulk Current Injection (BCI) Test System is a representative product in the BCI test system market.

Fundamental Principles of Bulk Current Injection Test System (BCI) 2.1 Electromagnetic Coupling Mechanism The operation of the BCI test system is based on the principle of electromagnetic coupling. When an alternating current is injected into the injection probe of the BCI system, a magnetic field is generated around the probe. This magnetic field then couples with the cable harness of the DUT, inducing a current in the cables. The induced current simulates the electromagnetic interference that the DUT may experience in its actual operating environment, such as interference from nearby electromagnetic sources or other electronic devices. 2.2 Injection Probe Design The injection probe is a key component of the BCI test system. It is designed to effectively transfer the injected current to the cable harness of the DUT. The probe usually has a toroidal shape, which can evenly distribute the magnetic field around the cable, ensuring a consistent and reliable injection of current. The design of the injection probe also takes into account factors such as impedance matching and frequency response to ensure accurate and efficient current injection across a wide range of frequencies.
