ESD is discharge of very high voltage electricity at very low current. It may be suprising but a very small spark of about 1mm is driven by at least 700 volts. the current is usually too low to damage your body but it can mess up sensitive devices like memory cards, where data is stored by holding electricity in a metal oxide. ESD can also ignite some flamable gasses. (one of the suspected reasons the Hindenburg exploded)

A: ESD is dangerous to humans if they get hit by lightning fore components Even there is no physical evidence the stress is there to guaranty an earlier failure and that because some components have a hi value of impedance which a little current can generate a big voltage across it

ESD is electrostatic discharge, and this can damage sensitive electronics. Generally, ESD is more likely to happen when the weather is cool and dry. However, you can say that lightning is a form of ESD, and if lightning runs in on electronic devices, that can certainly damage them.

What is the best way to protect ESD?

Weather - Electrical storms can increase the ESD risk; unless absolutely necessary, try not to work on a computer during an electrical storm. Accessories - To help reduce ESD and help prevent other problem, it is also a good idea to remove all jewelry. Zero Potential - Most importantly, make sure you and the computer are at Zero Potential by continuously touching an un-painted metal surface of the chassis or the computer power supply case. Clothes - Make sure not to wear any clothing that conducts a lot of Electrical Charge, such as a wool sweater.


What is the minimum voltage of an electrostatic discharge ESD that you can feel?

1500v From ESD Association ESD Handbook ESD TR20.20 section 5.3.2.1: "When people are charged with static electricity, they can release stored energy to conductive objects such as doorknobs and electronic circuits. This transfer of energy is called an electrostatic discharge. Sometimes the electrostatic discharge causes visible sparks, but more often, it is both unseen and unfelt. Electrostatic discharges can damage ESD sensitive components used in modern electronics. Static electricity is a natural phenomenon that occurs in all climates and at all levels of relative humidity year round. Most people cannot feel an electrostatic discharge unless the static voltage is greater than 2000 volts. However, some electronic circuitry can be damaged by ESD that is less than 2000 volts. The damage can be done without people having any sensation of the ESD event. When a wrist strap is worn properly and connected to ground, the person wearing it will stay near ground potential."

What is a myth regarding electro static discharge?

if you can't feel ESD, the surge is not sufficient to harm components.
