not?
3.Whether there is supervision and record for room temperature and
humidity?
4.Before working daily, must test the conductive wrist strap and
conductive shoes and record.

EOS/ESD
What is called ESD?
The reasons caused ESD: touched separation, damaged separation, induction
separation,etc.
ESD = Electro Static Discharge

How to proceed ESD prevent?

1.All conductive items must be grounding.
2.All insulations must be ionized.
3.All sensitive semiconductor components
can only be opened, assembled, repaired
at EPA stations.
4.Out of EPA station, must be met ESD
prevent request for the materials of
transportation and packages of the
sensitive semiconductor components

ION FAN
Active ion and passive ion neutralization
AC/DC ion fan
Best choice: set up automatic ion balance sensor to
offer just in time efficient and stable ion
balance liquid, easy to set up and take off
when repairing and cleaning.
Digitized design can offer data analysis and read,
and included automatic ion balance adjuster.
User can establish ion balance sensitivity
warning value according to their demand and
connect with internet monitor to control.

Grounding objects
Why grounding?
1). Avoid shocking
2). start prevent equipments avoid fire affairs
and explosion
3). Avoid electroshock
4). Avoid electrostatic
5). Avoid motley messages obstruction

What contains grounding

resistance?

1) Resistance of production lines and

grounding
2) grounding rod and soil contact resistance

3) Soil resistance within 20M of half diameter

36

Corrective actions for ESD grounding

1.ESD grounding must have the owned connections
which can not share with AC power grounding!
2.Separating four kinds of grounding!
3.ESD grounding must be watched at all times.!
4.Neutralize cord (N) and fire cord (H,L) can not be
reverse connected

The defect of tradition

grounding measurements

Assist grounding rod

30cm straightedge

test cord

1). Factory located at high floors caused not easy to start building.
2). Assist grounding rod too short, only 20cm. The depth is not enough.
Read value be effect on weather easily.

Corrective ideals of complete grounding

ESD = Bonding + Grounding

MK MASTER INC.

Underground prevention
Grounding system monitor
1) increase quality yield
2) increase appearance
Reverse thinking: the expense of improved quality is
saving money for company, not for spending money.
MK MASTER INC.

41

Factory grounding plan

1.ESD grounded can not share the same

connection with AC power grounding.
2.Separate four kinds of grounding.
3.ESD grounding must be supervised by 24
hours per day!
4.Neutralize cord (N) and fire cord (H.L)
can not be reverse connected!

Problem of grounded sharing connection

If equipment has leakage

status, it will make reverse
leakage and discharging to
components through human
body, and caused damage.

3.Not too close to building
that might be caused steel
