“…For example, when the charged body moves the front of the metal box, the polarity of the induced voltage in the box changes occasionally [14]. When the charged body moves the front of a partially opened metal box, the peak induced voltage in the box is independent of the volume of grounded metal boxes (the depth of the boxes) [16].…”

“…We can estimate the possible induced voltage on conductors that are contained in a grounded metal box. The estimation of the induced voltage can be possible by using empirical formulae [12,14], although the calculation of using electromagnetic simulation software is not as easy because very thin conductors or metal films are contained in the metal box. The calculation of the induced voltage becomes difficult with, for example, the finite element method in such a situation that a charged body moves near a metal case of electronic equipment.…”

“…Moreover, the induced voltage changes from the movement, for example, when the charged body approaches the metal box and the body moves away from the box [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The induced voltages of positive and negative polarities are generated on an ungrounded conductor that is contained in a grounded metal box when a charged body passes by the front of the box [14] . Thus, the problem of having the positive and negative induced voltages generated coincidentally becomes a cause of errors in the digital circuits.…”

Electrostatically induced voltage generated on printed circuit boards in a grounded metal box occasionally causes a malfunction and failure of the electronic equipment. A person who walks into a room that has an air conditioner can be electrified up to -10 kV or more. However, a microelectronics device malfunctions by an occurrence of induced voltage of less than 10 V. In the present paper, the induced voltages on an ungrounded one of two conductors that are contained in the metal box are measured and calculated when a charged body moves away from a partially opened metal box. The induced voltages are measured by the use of a spark gap and an electromagnetic wave sensor and are compared with the results from an electrostatic voltmeter. The induced voltages are calculated, moreover, by the use of q=cv, with the capacitances and charges. The results show that the induced voltages of -42% of the voltages of the charged body are generated in the metal box when a charged body moves away from the metal box. The results will be helpful in considering preventive measures of the malfunction and failure of electronic equipment.Index Terms -Electrostatic induction, induced voltage, movement of charged body, metal box, malfunction and failure.

Electrical equipment within a metal box may malfunction by an electrostatically induced voltage. The induced voltage of the metal box is changed by the movement of a charged body, such as a charged human body. The induced voltage of the metal box generated by the approach and isolation of the charged body is experimentally studied in this work. In the experiments, the depth of a metal box is changed, and the result shows that the induced voltage of the metal box generated by the isolation of the charged body is higher than that generated by the approach of the body. The former induced voltage of the metal box becomes the voltage of approximately -400% of a latter induced voltage in this experimental condition. Electric charges of metal boxes are somewhat dependent of the depth of the boxes. These results will be useful to design electrical equipment capable of preventing equipment malfunction and failure.Keywords-electrical safety; electrostatically induced voltage; malfunction and failure; depth of metal box; moving charged body
