Electric Tile Cleaner

working in the office of the plant, steel construction covered with carpet tiles, I am getting sharp minor electrical shocks when using a vacuum Henry the vacuum cleaner has been tested OK suggestions

The vacuum must be grounded for static. This is not the same as the ground on a three prong plug. Get a light metal chain. He did not need strength. Attach one end to a metal part of the void. Leave the other end of the drag on the ground. This should avoid a static charge to accumulate. When I worked in an electronics factory had any grounding chains dragging on the ground. Our shoes have even been fitted with straps are attached to the ground. static shocks in this environment could damage the delicate circuits

Sounds like static electricity. If so, many others who work in this area will have similar shocks when they touch a metal object to ground.

The carpet tiles can be routinely treated with an anti-static trade to prevent this unfortunate situation. It also helps increase the humidity in the area that is affected.

When you meet regularly with such shocks, you might consider keeping a metal object (like a key or coin) in your hand and allow him to be the first thing that comes into contact with everything you need to touch .

I clean a house every two weeks during the winter when I'm vacuuming, I am shocked. What happens is the latest vacuum act like they are closing the gap and then usually returns to full power. There must be more moisture in the air.
