Resistance measurement using a teraohmmeter
For measuring surface, leakage and continuity resistances
Resistance measurement is a key method for verifying ESD protection measures. It is used to check the discharge and continuity resistances of workstations, floors, earthing systems and personal protective equipment, and ensures that electrostatic charges are discharged in a controlled manner.

Measuring resistance in the ESD range
Materials are classified into the following categories depending on their electrical resistance: electrically conductive, electrically dissipative and insulating.
In order to avoid electrostatic charges or prevent sudden, violent discharges, materials must be checked regularly for their resistance values, usually surface resistance.
Therefore, resistance measurements, along with field strength measurements, are among the most important measurement methods in the ESD sector.
