Hi All, i wud like to know whether any standards to select ESD grounding wire. What AWG i shlould select for esd grounding. is it possible to relate the i2t of the cable with the esd burst energy? or to discharge in the rate of 20A in 1 ns , what should be the maximum inductance of the conductor. No where i cud find ESD modelling with inductor. It would be help full if you can provide me some formulae to justify the selection of particular AWG wire for grounding and also the length of the wire. That could equate the mechanical and electrical property of the wire- whether it is sufficiently good enough to withstand the ESD flow or good enough to discharge smoothly without impeding. with that i will be able to justify the reason why i am selecting a particular gauge, when question comes why not some other gauge. thanks in advance for any information related.
