are a wide range of factors that can affect the amount of electrostatic charge that can build up as a voltage on personnel. Some common major factors include:
The floor material and its electrical resistance, and resistance-to-ground
Personnel footwear, especially the materials of the shoe sole and its electrical resistance
Atmospheric humidity
The manner in which a person walks, e.g. scuffing and friction of the shoes against the floor
Actions of brushing against furniture, sitting and rising from seats
Static electric charges are separated whenever two materials make and break contact. This occurs with regularity between the shoe sole and floor material in walking action. Charge tries to dissipate and recombine where possible, but this cannot happen if it is prevented from moving by insulating materials. Charge builds up if the charge is generated faster than it can dissipate, and a high voltage can quickly result.
Shocks are felt by people when they touch a discharge path (e.g. metal frame or another person
I would now take the Turntable off the "OAK RACK" and isolate it from the other euiptment. Place your VPI on a seperate table such as an IKEA lack table. If you have an ikea near you or even a Lowes they sell a small table that is made of composite materials this might work best.
