Abstract We address the phenomenon of the electrostatic discharge from the point of view of its implications in the field of electromagnetic compatibility. Conducted and radiated emissions from electrical discharges are considered. We investigate how the main parameters of an electrical or electronic system participating in a discharge process contribute to the production of electromagnetic interferences. Here we report a summary of the results that we have previously obtained, as well as some new data on the specific topic of discharges between two isolated spheres. We have been involved in an extensive experimental study of the emission fro
