Electrical Fields and Particles - Practical Considerations for the Factory and Induction Charging  (FC262) 

ANSI/ESD S20.20 recommends that process essential insu¬lators with a measured electrical field strength of >2000 volts at 1 inch should be kept a minimum of 12 inches from ESD susceptible items. In addition, for close proximity or contact, the standard requires that insulators have an electric field of <125 volts at 1 inch. Just what are the practical consider¬ations of these statements? What is the size of a charged object and magnitude of an electric field that imposes a real risk? The goal of this tutorial is to show, by demonstration, the field strength and resulting induction ability from different sized objects. Electric fields are the major contributor (be¬yond gravity) to attraction of particles to surfaces. The sci¬ence of particle attraction, adhesion and particle removal is very complex but it is important to have a fundamental under¬standing if your production processes involve cleanliness of surfaces. This tutorial will cover the important considerations of particle dynamics. The audience should gain a practical perspective of size and distance as related to charged ob¬jects, electrical fields, induction, and the interaction of electric fields with airborne particles.

Electrostatic Charging and Induction 

Electrostatic Charging and the subsequent likelihood of induction charging in industrial processes are important to understand to avoid substantial risks to sensitive devices, materials, and other items including flammable atmospheres.

Practical Applications of Ionization (FC365) 

Ionization is a powerful tool in the toolbox of an ESD control practitioner. Our half-day tutorial, “Ionization Issues and Answers for the Program Manager” goes into depth about the physics of ionization, and general applications. This tutorial builds on the fundamentals and provides added information about applications of ionization that go beyond those mentioned in the original tutorial. The introduction part of this tutorial begins with a review of the physics of ionization before entering the discussion of applications. Ionization is used in a wide variety of industrial applications to reduce charge on plastic and paper films, extrusion processes, pharmaceutical and other powders, petrochemical processing, printing and graphic arts, as well as the wide variety of electronic component and equipment production processes. Numerous demonstrations will help demonstrate the power of ionization to reduce charges on materials. In addition, it is necessary to understand the limitations of ionization and recognize where it is useful and where it is not.
