At a former employer, we finally ended up putting resistive load banks in computer chassis' (as shielding) for testing power supplies. But we found that power supplies can fail at full load from their own emissions, and later, installed in working equipment at lower loads, due to passing through b

Dear Richard, Hewlett Packard tests to more than 15 kV. But please be aware: The severeness of an ESD tests does not always increase with the test voltage. Depending on the physical failure mechanism (energy, current, derivative, fields, E-field, H-field, etc.) it will go down with voltage for
