Electrostatic discharge in a workshop or laboratory can lead to
a great deal of damage. Even the electrostatic charge on the
human body can give rise to voltages of up to 20 kV. Most
semiconductors and integrated circuits can not with stand such
potentials. With the meter described in this article the presence
of unwanted electrostatic charges can be detected
so that protective measures can be taken.
