Approximations For Predicting Electrostatic Discharges

Abstract

Report provides approximate equations for capacitances and ratios of maximum electrostatic field strengths to potentials of variously shaped electrodes in vicinity of ground planes. Maximum-field-strength/potential ratio of given electrode used in conjunction with measured or estimated potential to determine whether discharge is likely. Capacitance and potential give measure of maximum energy release and maximum damage done by discharge.
