Abstract(in English) Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is one of electromagnetic wave noise sources which affect the function of mechatronics equipment. Spark lengths, discharge currents and electric fields at the occurrence of ESD were measured when a charged object approached a grounded object. It was confirmed that spark lengths tended to shorten when approach speeds of the charged object increased. It was also confirmed that peak discharge currents tended to increase and rise times of discharge current tended to shorten when spark lengths shortened. Time change rates of electric field tended to become faster and amplitude spectra of electric field tended to increase when spark lengths shortened. Maximum values of time change rate of electric field at 138 mm away from the point where ESD occured correlated with peak discharge current, maximum values of time change rate of discharge current, and maximum second order differential values of discharge current; quasi electric field was dominant among components of electric field measured in this experiment.
