No clue what state but if I had to guess (and that is all this) I would guess California. Knee jerk reaction – seems to me that an ESD test that takes out an equipment 15 – 20 feet away is wildly overstressing.

Hi All, Did you know there is one US state that has immunity regulations applicable to ESD (it is not an ESD test itself)? It is a state very concerned with extreme equipment reliability and your equipment has to pass this test if you want to sell to customers in a specific industry in that state. Which one? It is the most intense immunity test I have seen. I was demonstrating the test during a presentation to 70 engineers in Fullerton, CA last week. I was one of several speakers. All except me were recorded. Shortly into my demonstrations, I performed the test using a chair as a target for demo purposes. From 15-20 feet away, the demonstration took out the camera and my presentation was not recorded from that point! If you want to see how good a design is, this is a great test. If you have attended one of my presentations/seminars, please do not post. I want to see how well known the state with an EMC rules making organization is. This is typical of the many kinds of unusual material I teach.
