Title: Electrostatic charge buildup and electrostatic discharge monitoring system and method

Abstract

A system for monitoring electrostatic charge buildup and electrostatic discharge (ESD) remotely comprises a plurality of electrostatic charge measurement units and a data acquisition device. Each electrostatic charge measurement unit includes a primary charge plate, a static sensor device, a secondary charge plate, and a shielded cable. The primary charge plate is positioned proximal to an object. The static sensor device includes an input sensor at which an electric voltage is measured and outputs an electronic signal whose level varies according to the measured electric voltage. The secondary charge plate is positioned in proximity to the input sensor of the static sensor device. The shielded cable includes an inner conductor electrically connected to the primary charge plate and the secondary charge plate and an outer conductor electrically connected to electrical ground. The data acquisition device receives the electronic signal from the static sensor device of each electrostatic charge measurement unit.
