Hi Dear. All, I have several questions on ESD testing for ECSS-E-ST-20-07C-Rev17. In the setion 5.4.12.3 of this standard, it describes the ESD testing setup. It is my first time to use this standard so that I can't under some requirements completely. In this section, it shows the definition of deamping resistor, spark gap, high-voltage capacitor and choke resistor. As I understand, I need to set up the testing ciruit with these specified components. The ESD generator shall be same as IEC 61000-4-2. The damping resistor is 47 ohms. The high-voltage capacitor is 50pF. The choke resistor is 10k ohms. My question is below. 1. How to make the spark gap? It is not defined in the standard. 2. If the circuit must be set up alone, is there any other requirement? Or if there is any such test tool on shelf? 3. What is the meaning of such configuration?
Thanks a lot for any input.
