Humidity and Its Effects on Static Electricity and Equipment

CISSP

  1. Humidity Levels and Static Electricity:
    • <40% Humidity: Low humidity can result in static electricity buildup, potentially reaching up to 20,000 volts.
    • Normal Humidity (40-60%): In this range, static electricity is typically limited to around 4,000 volts, which is considered safer for most equipment.
    • >60% Humidity: High humidity levels can lead to corrosion, affecting the longevity and reliability of electronic components and other materials.

Maintaining optimal humidity levels is crucial for preventing both static electricity damage and corrosion in sensitive environments, particularly in IT and industrial settings.
