| Summary: | One of the most common causes of damage to electronic devices is electrostatic discharge — ESD for short. They arise during the normal use of the equipment by the operator who in adverse conditions (dry air and electrifying materials) can charge electrostatically to very high voltages and, for example, touching the ticket machine keyboard in the train compartment and causing an electrostatic discharge. There are many mechanisms for the formation of electrostatic charges, among others: during friction, grinding or rapid separation of solid, liquid or gaseous bodies. Another electrifying method is the phenomenon of electrostatic induction during which in the electrostatic field a polarization of the body occurs in the neutral state in a way of separating positive and negative charges.
Keywords: electrostatic discharges, electronic systems, phenomenon of electrostatic induction
