That might refer to a lightning.
3000 volts 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."
As little as a 20V electrostatic discharge through some modern components will cause latent damage that could cause sudden failure months or years later.
scary
it isn't scary unless you think it is scary it's not real!
You can use a power bar to ground yourself if it's plugged in. Since the ground wiring normally bypasses the on/off switch, it doesn't have to be turned on either.Additonally, if you are working on a computer that has an on/off switch on the power supply, you can keep the computer case grounded by leaving the power supply plugged in with the switch off. This offers an additional layer of protection from electrostatic discharge.
A scary electrostatic discharge is commonly known as a lightning strike.
afraid
their is only one other name of electrostatic that is electromagnetism
A transistor

Static discharge is the spark associated with static electricity that is caused by electrostatic discharge.

They are shoes that are made to dissapate ElectroStatic Discharge which can damage electronics and computer parts.
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.
It stands for electrostatic detonation ANSWER: Eelectrostatic static discharge. What it is? It is a potential of energy ready to be discharged if it find a path. Otherwise it sits there until it does. The source can easily be found on cellophane if ripped suddenly or walking on a dry carpet or sliding on your car seat
