What is the maximum voltage it could withstand?
is there any document about it?

3I think an answer may be able to draw partly from information in How do spacecraft measure their own charge? and Why aren't magnetic bearings used more frequently in reaction wheels? and Neutralization of ions in the ion thruster and the answers there – uhoh Sep 17 '20 at 15:10

1and Is a spacecraft able to measure it's current electric charge in some way? and How is charge dissipated in ion-propulsed spacecraft? and finally Strategies for combating ESD and ground plane potential shifts on spacecraft charging? – uhoh Sep 17 '20 at 15:17
