Electrostatic Discharge(ESD) is a very relevant topic selected to enlighten “SystemTechnicians,Electronic Technicians and Network Engineers” who assiduously pursue their duties and obligations deligently without sacrificing quality.
“ESD” occurs when a path is created that allows electrons to rush from a statically charged body to another with an Unequal charge. However,the charged body such as a “human hand”,”ESD” can damage sensitive computer Components and other relevant components in bigger machines.
For instance, charges from the human body(human hand) as low as 10volts and above can damage and also destroy sensitive electronic circuit and components.
And thats absolutely why “ESD” is such an enemy of integrated Circuits.And as a System engineer and Network Administrator you must take steps to protect against “ESD” as you troubleshoot sensitive computer devices and even bigger machines.
RELEVANT PREVENTATIVE TECHNIQUES:
1.Scrutinize activities and Tasks:eliminate or avoid unnecessary activities that create static charges and also removing unnecessary materials that may hinder or generate ESD-related damage and injuries.
2.Use Anti-Static Materials:You may probably Utulize the avalability of Anti-static wrist strap or Ankle Straps.Use Anti-Static Vacuums for cleaning computers and sensitive devices.
3.Use Anti-static Materials such as electric grounded flooring Work benches/Surface and Anti-Static bags to store components.
4.Mini devices Maintain air quality: Utulizing the use of air Ionizer,which releases negative ions into the air,that possibly attracts positively charged particles and form neutrally charged particles.
5.Humidifying the air is also important to speed up static discharge from various components when possibly air is extremely dry.
6.Utulize the use of grounding techniques :(grounding conductive Materials such as object made of a dissipative materials) to ground yourself before touching electronic equipment to avoid a static shock.
Thank you for Scheduling some ample time to read the theoritical presentation of Academia Exclusive.Continue to make life more Purposeful and meaningful to the generations.
