Calibration Equivalent to In-Situ Testing of ESD Generator Under the Latest IEC Calibration Environment

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Under the calibration environment of the latest IEC standards, contact discharge waveforms from a 4 kV ESD generator are measured in two cable configurations: the IEC-specified configuration with a single ferrite core attached to the return cable, and a configuration representative of actual equipment testing. These waveforms are compared at 11 different positions of the ferrite core attachment along the entire length of the 2-m cable, revealing that, when the core is mounted on the ESD generator side in both configurations, the contact discharge waveforms closely match and satisfy all requirements of the latest IEC standards.
