Brief Overview of Phenomena
What causes electrostatic discharges?
Humans become electrostatically charged by walking over an insulating floor surface.
The body’s capacitance can be charged to several kilovolts. A discharge occurs when
contact is made to an electronic unit or system. These are visible as a spark and in
many cases can be felt by the person, who receives a „shock“. These discharges are
harmless to humans, but not to sensitive, modern electronic equipment. The resulting current can cause interference in electronic equipment or even cause an entire
system „crash“.
ESD has been known to the electrical industry for over 30 years but only recently has
increased in significance with the advent of sensitive micro electronic devices.
The cost of damage caused by ESD is difficult to assess, but amounts to billions of
dollars worldwide.
Most affected are:
- manufacturers of integrated circuits
- the chemical industry where explosions or fires can occur
- manufacturers where process controllers and electronic equipment can be disrupted
- automotive manufacturers
- military users

Test System Overview
ESD3000
ESD3000 is a light weight, hand-held battery operated tester. The modular construction enables many different test standards to be performed by simply changing the
module. A broad range of accessories enable testing to many applications for contact
discharge, air discharge and indirect discharge.
The easily interchangeable discharge modules (DM) quickly adapt ESD3000 to the
specified circuits of a new application. Each new module fitted to the ESD3000 is
automatically identified and the corresponding program displayed. Modules can be
ESD3000 – EMC PARTNER’s battery operated,
portable, 30 kV ESD generator
configured to meet requirements for special component values but also so that the
waveshape is correct using the defined calibration method. The modules contain
all the high voltage circuits making ESD3000 the ONLY ESD system capable of fully
conforming to different calibration requirements.
Unique in it’s class, ESD3000 is powered by a rechargable battery pack up to 30kV
for approximately 8 hours @ 1Hz discharge repetition. Regular AA batteries can also
be used.
Electronic polarity reversal, including alternating polarity, is provided as standard in all
ESD3000 models.
TRA2006 with ESD2000
Available as a basic 16 kV unit ESD3000 is easily expandable to 30kV by simply adding a Relay Module (RM).
Remote control of ESD3000 test system is possible using the EMC PARTNER TEMA
software package.
Long duration testing is made easier by fitting ESD3000 to a tripod mount fitted with
standard „photo“ type mount. In combination with the TEMA software, test reports can
be generated.
As standard accessories ESD3000 is equipped with one set of UM-3/AA size NiMH
rechargable batteries a power adapter for recharging, 2 m Earth cable, serial link cable
to update the software via EMC PARTNER’s website, user manual with verification protocol, conformity declaration and software package. All delivered in a smart case.
TRA2004, TRA2006
ESD2000 is an accessory to EMC PARTNER’s Transient Test System. Power supplies
and control of ESD2000 are incorporated into Transient Test System generators.
Connecting ESD2000 to TRA2004 or TRA2006 offers the possibilities of unlimited storage places and immediate protocol printing in the same protocol as surge, EFT, etc.
As standard accessories, ESD2000 is equipped with 2m earth cable, air and contact
test tips and a safety “crocodile clip” for connecting earth cable to a ground reference
plane.
TRA3000
EXT-TRA3000 E is an accessory to EMC PARTNER’s TRA3000 test system.
Power and High Voltage are fully contained in EXT-TRA3000 E. Programming and
control is via the TRA3000 front panel menu.
A test report is available from the TRA3000 Web Server.

ESD3000 SAFETY-S
Under certain circumstances it is desirable to remove all charge from the ESD generator discharge tip before connecting a test object. Particularly in applications involving
explosive devices (airbags, foil initiators, etc.) where unexpected activation may endanger operating personnel. In addition, semiconductor devices can be damaged by
a test finger holding residual charge.
ESD3000 Safety switch used in conjunction with ESD3000DM and ESD3000DN enables testing in a controlled environment that provides maximum safety for operating
personnel and minimum risk of damage to Semiconductors.
ESD3000DM-EXT
This extension allows the separation of control and discharge module. It can be used
for DM and RM+DN.
CNH12
The CNH12 can be used for proximity magnetic field susceptibility tests.
ESD-STAND Ed2
- Non metallic stand for ESD2000 / 3000 in accordance with IEC 61000-4-2 Ed.2.
- Height adjustable from 0.4m up to 1.75m.
- Application: long term tests in contact and air discharge mode
TC-MIG24 ED (for explosive devices)
Testing of EUTs that could spontaneously explode or rapidly change state, such as
airbags or munition fuses, can be accomplished with minimum risk to testing personnel
by separating the ESD3000 control unit and the discharge module. ESD3000DM-EXT
enables a separation of up to 1m.
