Whenever electro-static discharge is discussed, it is usually in reference to electronic units and their susceptibility to ESD.
But what about the wiring on its own? I deal with automotive grade wiring and the dielectric test only goes to 1000 V. What if I had a wire connected to ground and I zapped it with 8 kV or more from an ESD tool? Would it cause damage?
