The static electricty from your body can be as high as 3000 volts of energy.

I repair various welders and most new PC boards and other components comes in 2 layers of anti-static packaging. I am also required to wear a grounding wrist strap while I work on this equipment.

Inverter based welders........

I do it in the winter when it's dry....

Pop the clothes right out of your dryer in the winter or drag your feet on the carpet and touch the light switch.....Pow....
