Electrostatic shielding is a method used to protect sensitive electronic devices from external electric fields. This is achieved by surrounding the device with a conductive material, such as metal, which redistributes electric charges and cancels out the external field within the enclosed space. This ensures that the internal environment remains stable and unaffected by outside electrical influences. Common applications of electrostatic shielding include cables, electronic enclosures, and laboratory equipment. By using materials like Faraday cages, which are designed to block static and non-static electric fields, manufacturers can safeguard delicate components from interference, ensuring reliable performance and longevity.
