Other Parts Discussed in Thread: STRIKE
In the case of an isolated design; How is an ESD spark on the secondary side handled by the circuit? I assume the gnd of the secondary side is connected to the chassis. Thus, when an ESD spark is applied on the chassis, this needs to be handled, right? I assume that C10 transfers the energy to the primary "gnd" but what happens then? Thus, it should be important to use capacitors with low ESR. Is that why C1 and C2 are not electrolytic type of capacitors?
Please explain why this design i ESD proof?
