ESD Simulators Product Overview
Static electricity is generated along objects moving and the objects consist of electric configuration of plus and minus. When this configuration falls into disorder and inclines to the one polarity, the static electricity is generated and this phenomenon is called as electrification. The electrification is generated as result of contact, rubbing and exfoliating mainly. Also, there is one another phenomenon which is called as induced electrification in the meaning of the static electricity.
In addition, although sometime, spark phenomena which may be generated when taking a sweater off and touching onto a door knob of a vehicle in dry condition are called as static electricity as well, it should be called as “Electrostatic discharge (ESD)” correctly. In our ordinary lives, 30kV electricity can be easily generated only with putting shoes on and walking on a carpet.
“NoiseKen” ESD simulators (ESS-S3011/ESS-B3011/) can reproduce and simulate the ESD from a charged human body intentionally for testing whether electronic equipments become malfunctioned or work correctly with the ESD influence, and the simulators conform to IEC61000-4-2 Standard which is standardized by International Electrotechnical Committee (IEC).
The malfunction mechanism is, when the ESD is realized to an electronic equipment, surface current flows on the body surface and the electric potential rises up. Consequently, electric potential of GND fluctuates and the subsequent electric/magnetic noises are generated. The noise flows into the inside and causes the malfunction due to coupling with the circuit (Please refer to the following figure). Since the phenomenon can be easily generated frequently, the test should be requisite to electronic equipment
ESD Simulator ESS-S3011A & GT-30RA
Free you from the hassle of testing by the pre-check function and the weight reduction of the discharge gun.
EMC test equipment to evaluate the resistibility of electronic equipment when energy charged on a human body or object is discharged to the electronic equipment.

Cost-oriented basic model ESD Simulator equipped with the light weight discharge gun.
The output voltage can be selected up to max. 30 kV and compliant to both EN / IEC 61000-4-2 Standard and ISO 10605 Standard.
Lightning Surge Simulator (LSS)
A simulator to reproduce “High energy induced lightning noise” which is induced by potential change on the ground, or done to power lines or telephone lines as result of lightning current. This immunity test is required by major standards including IEC61000-4-5 and JEC 210/212 and is widely used in many industries.
Features
- Lightning surge simulator compliant with the IEC61000-4-5 Edition 3 requirements
- Maximum output voltage 15 kV (maximum coupling of 15 kV to AC / DC CDN and 6 kV to Telecom CDN) Enables to conduct the more extended reliability test including the destructive test
- Large size LCD for the operation is adopted for realizing better visibility and operatability
- Easy operation for the sequential tests with adoption of MPU control. Surge output / Waveform switching / Polarity switching / Sequence can be automated sequentially
- Selectable either MANUAL or PROGRAM mode MANUAL modes is used for the test according to the Standard or performing single conditioned test and PROGRAM mode can perform different conditioned tests sequentially so that the tests can be performed easily along purposes.
- Excellent safety with equipment of interlock
- Standard equipment of terminal for checking the waveforms：Enable to check the waveforms in connection to an oscilloscope with a BNC cable
- Isolation transformers available (Option)
- In order to avoid resonance with the power supply, possible to vary the constant of the decoupling network (1.5，1.3，1.0，0.8 mH) (Customized production). When some products like a power conditioner for photovoltaic application are connected to a lightning surge simulator, the resonant phenomena may occur and the products may not work well. In LSS-F03 series (with customization), possible to change constants of the inductances so as to avoid such problem
