Tests that simulate an electrostatic discharge (ESD) into a vehicular electrical system are based on the human ESD model. The ESD model consists essentially of a capacitor formed by a person to his surroundings (Cp). This capacitor, sufficiently insulated, can be charged by Triboelectricity (charges generated by rubbing together and quickly separating two materials usually dissimilar non-conductors). This voltage, discharged through a path that includes the person's resistance (Rp), as well as vehicle loads (Z), provides the ESD environment that is of concern. Sensitive electrical devices can be adversely affected by energy either coupled or radiated from electrostatic discharges. This paper describes the investigation performed to determine the Electrostatic environment in vehicles and evaluate the parameters required to faithfully simulate the human Electrostatic Discharge.
