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 oscillatory discharge?

Alternating current of gradually decreasing amplitude which, under certain conditions, flows through a circuit containing inductance, capacitance, and resistance when a voltage is applied is known as Oscillatory discharge.

What are the different types of electrostatic discharge?

There are three main types of electrostatic discharge (ESD): direct discharge, indirect discharge, and field-induced discharge. Direct discharge occurs when a charged object comes into direct contact with another object. Indirect discharge happens when the charged object interacts with another object that is not in direct contact. Field-induced discharge occurs when the electric field between objects causes a discharge without direct contact.
