ESD Surface Resistivity Meters Voltage settings | 5 February, 2024

I have a ESD Surface Resistivity Meters and while trying to measure table to ground it wants us to set a voltage value as 10V, 100V, 500V.

I'm not sure which one should i choose? What are them for?

Generally for ESD testing, conductive materials (1.0 x 104 ohms to <1.0 x 106 ohm) are tested at 10v. Materials in the dissipative range (≥1.0 x 106 ohms to <1.0 x 109 ohms or < 1 x 1011 ohms for packaging materials) are tested at 100v. I believe 500V is used to test insulative materials
