ABSTRACT:
A wearable device for alerting a user when a static electrical charge has developed on the user which exceeds a preset limit, prior to an accidental discharge of the static charge. The device includes a first conductive element in close proximity to the user and a second conductive element spaced a further distance from the user than the first conductive element. A high impedance differential amplifier provides a voltage signal proportional to the potential difference existing between the first and second conductive elements. A voltage level discriminator receives the voltage signal from the high impedance differential amplifier and triggers an alarm if the voltage signal exceeds a predetermined limit.
