ESD test setup as per IEC 61000-4-2

Test setup
A correct test set-up is very important for a reproducible test
procedure, especially for ESD testing. The correct test set-
up as specified in the standard is mandatory. Some of the
most important points are the following:
1. Test table
The test must be performed on a wooden test table. On the table, a metallic plane of at least 1.6x0.8m must be used, the so-
called horizontal coupling plane HCP. The EUT has to be isolated by 0.5mm from this metallic plane.
2. Ground reference plane
The ground reference plane is located under the test table. It must exceed the projection of the horizontal coupling plane by
at least 0.5m on all sides and must be connected to the protective grounding system.
The horizontal coupling plane on the test table has to be connected to the ground reference plane by 2x470 k resistors
(EAS30).
3. Test generator
The test generator must be properly connected to the ground reference plane.
Important: The ESD simulator must not be connected to the horizontal coupling plane.
The discharge unit 2m ground cable must be connected to the ground reference plane and not to the horizontal coupling
plane.
