2.5.2 ESD from Insulating Surfaces

Оглавление

If a conductive electrode approaches a charged insulating surface, a “brush” discharge can occur. Several contributory discharges occur on the insulating surface, radiating from a central spark channel – the whole looks rather like an old‐fashioned twig brush.

Brush discharges are less well documented than spark discharges. They typically have a lower peak discharge current than sparks (0.01–10 A) and unidirectional waveforms with fast rise and quasi‐exponential decay (Figure 2.12) (Norberg et al. 1989; Norberg 1992; Norberg and Lundquist 1991; Smallwood 1999; Landers 2018). The power dissipation and energy of a brush discharge is not easy to calculate.
