Solution: "This is truly one of the toughest static-related problems to solve. A sandwich of insulative materials with conductive materials (the foil), in essence creates a capacitor, which Grant referred to as a capacitive effect. This means that no field exists and the voltage that caused the static discharge is trapped between the layers. A fieldmeter would not be able to measure the voltage, due to the collapsed field.
