Abstract
ANSI/ESD S20.20[1] requires keeping insulators with an electrical field of >;2,000 volts @ 1 inch, 12 inches away from unprotected ESD susceptible items. What is the risk from insulators <;2,000 volts @ 1 inch within 12 inches? This paper examines electrical field strength as a function of area and distance.
