ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for applying a test static-electric discharge from a test tip to equipment under test in two modes, which apparatus includes a capacitor, a power supply, and a normally closed relay for connecting the high side of the capacitor to the tip. Means are provided for actuating the relay to open and close, and means are provided for actuating the power supply to charge the capacitor. In an air-discharge mode, the power supply is actuated for charging the capacitor while the relay is closed and thus not energized. For direct-injection mode operation, the apparatus includes a timing circuit interconnected so that the relay is opened a finite delay time before power supply is actuated to charge the capacitor, the relay remaining open until the capacitor is charged, and thereafter the relay automatically closes to permit discharge of the capacitor.
