07 BE ON THE SAFE SIDE. ESD TOOLS FROM ELORA. ESD stands for Electro Static Discharge. This means a brief, high discharge of electrical current, which results from large potential differences in an electrically insulating material. Often, the cause of this potential difference is the result of charging owing to static electricity that is not noticed by a human. Even the smallest charges can result in lasting damage to electronic components. A complex set of measures contributes to coun- tering this danger. For example, an EPA (Electro- static Protected Area) workstation always aims at getting the electrostatic charge discharged to earth potential in a controlled manner. 286
