C.2 Electrostatic charging of persons
Charging
Any person connected to the electrical potential of the environment through a non-conduc-
tive connection can be charged electrostatically.
Figure C-1 indicates the maximum electrostatic voltages that can accumulate in a person
who is operating equipment when he/she comes into contact with the materials shown in the
figure. These values correspond with specifications to IEC 801-2.
