xplod33 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I recently got some homework from my computer engineering class...and I need to explain how to prevent ESD in computers. I got anti-static wrist wraps and mats, and touching a metal case while its plugged in. But I still need to know how ESD is prevented while you are in a room with 50% humidity... :-k If someone could explain it to me that'd be really nice :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart_G Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 It's because the humidity helps make a layer of moisture which lets the discharge usually go straight to earth. Take a look at this Wikipedia page, explains it a bit better. Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
