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."

Which protects a computer from electrostactic discharge?

Many things protect a computer from electrostatic discharge such as linear voltage regulators and fuses.


What is the minimum level of electrostatic discharge that a person can normally feel?

A person can typically feel an electrostatic discharge when it reaches around 3,000 volts. This sensation is often described as a small shock or static electricity zap.


What is the maximum electrostatic discharge voltage?

The maximum electrostatic discharge voltage can vary depending on factors such as the environment and the materials involved. However, common industry standards specify a maximum ESD voltage of around 2,000 to 4,000 volts for safe handling of electronic components. It's important to follow ESD protection guidelines to prevent damage to sensitive electronics.


What is an example of electrostatic discharge?

An example of electrostatic discharge is the shock you sometimes feel when you touch a metal object after walking on carpet in a dry environment. This occurs when the excess static electricity built up on your body is discharged to the metal conductor.
