ESD Air & Contact Discharge
Explore simplified discharge parameters and protection considerations.
Input parameters
Results
An estimate does not establish safe clearance or compliance.
Model & assumptions
Stored energy E = ½CV²; charge Q = CV; simplified RC time constant τ = RC.
Network energy only. Air/contact mode labels the scenario; it does not change these energy equations. No arc distance, IEC waveform peak, immunity or safe-clearance prediction.
