Hi Everyone, Is it possible that a fast breakdown of the dielectric barrier, by a fast event, like ESD or EFT, in a two wire mains power supply, cause a larger follow-on current from the AC mains and therefore a safety problem. How about follow-on current from a simultaneous lightning surge that would not by itself cause a breakdown? Anyone know of an incident of either type? I could set up an experiment but don't want to set my lab bench on fire. -:)
