Abstract: Small wall mounted power supplies that plug directly into AC power mains and furnish power, usually low voltage DC, to equipment over a low voltage cable are ubiquitous in the electronic field. It is shown that these low voltage supplies can be the source of multiple ESD events that are fed to the connected system on the low voltage cable when an ESD event is applied to the system or directly to the power supplies. The multiple ESD events produce nasty current waveforms Examples of these waveforms and the measurement method are given. The results have been duplicated in three laboratories, results are presented from two of the three.
