A Study on Frequency Spectrum of Electrostatic Discharge Currents and Lightning Currents

• Electrostatic discharges (ESD) consequences are not only damages, but also very fast transients in electric circuits and devices, as well as in large power systems. This paper presents frequency spectrum analysis of the IEC 61000-4-2 standard current approximated by multi-peaked analytically extended function (MP-AEF) and of typical lightning currents according to the IEC 62305 standard. This analysis is important for the choice of protective devices and frequency range of measurement equipment used in experiments. A comparison of the measured and theoretical results is also given.
