Measurements upon Human Body Capacitance: Theory and Experimental Setup

A. Salceanu, Oana Neacsu, V.David, E. Lunca
Abstract:
This paper proposes a method to estimate the value of the Human Body Capacitance, by direct measuring it, with an experimental setup based on 6517A model. More accurate and stable results are obtained when improving the setup with a Faraday cage. There is offered a pertinent and sustainable by practical results explanation for the reduced measured value of the bulk capacitance of the Human body considered as a fully isolated sphere.
