ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) refers to the release of built-up static electricity. It is a discipline that has been developed since the mid-20th century to study the generation, hazards, and protection against static electricity. Therefore, equipment used for static electricity protection is commonly referred to as ESD, known as Electro-Static Discharge in English.
Static electricity is a natural phenomenon that objectively exists, and it can be generated in various ways such as through contact, friction, and induction between electrical devices. The characteristics of static electricity include long-term accumulation, high voltage, low charge, small current, and short duration of action.
