Desco ESD Training Paddles are ideal for demonstrating several electrostatic principles. Among these are:
- Static Electric Fields
- Polarity
- Field Suppression
- Neutralization
- Field Induction
- Field Induced Discharges
These paddles are portable and can easily generate a static electric field strength of a few kilovolts. The paddle kit consists of one insulative plate and one conductive plate; both plates are isolated with an insulative handle.
Materials and Equipment Needed:
To take full advantage of your training paddles you’ll need a static field meter, a grounded ESD mat with common point ground (extra banana jacks), an air ionizer, an insulative work surface (regular plastic, cardboard, glass, etc.) and a wrist strap. Note: you can add or substitute an ionization test kit or charge plate analyzer for the static field meter.
