Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Simulators

The simulation of electrostatic discharges is an important part of electromagnetic compatibility testing for any type of electronic equipment and is a particularly critical component of EMC test strategies. ESD tests are used to verify complete systems and duplicate disturbances in installations. These tests contribute to identify immunity failures caused by bad cabling or system composition, as well as grounding problems.

Somerset provides ESD simulators from leading manufacturers such as Teseq.
