Schloeder is a specialist manufacturer of EMC test equipment and surge protection solutions for industrial, automotive, aerospace and telecommunications applications. Its portfolio includes surge generators, ESD simulators, burst generators and EMC test systems designed to validate product immunity and ensure compliance with international standards. Engineers and test laboratories worldwide rely on Schloeder solutions for accurate and reliable electromagnetic compatibility testing.
The Vertical Coupling Plate (VCP) is used in conjunction with ESD generators to simulate indirect discharges on metallic objects that are near a test object. The bleeder resistors contained in the ground wire of the VCP serve to prevent the applied charge from vanishing immediately after discharge of the ESD generator to the VCP, thereby increasing the effect of the ESD test.
