We have been having problem at a Hair Academy facility. the problem is at the main floor of the cademy which consists of 72 free standing stainless steel hair stations with a so crod and cap that plugs into a floor outlet. the cord runs inside the station leg up to a receptacle flush mounted in the horizontal member of the station just belo the work surface.
The problem: occasionally (probably 1 to 2 times a mounth) when the student is plugging in his/her hair dryer or the clippers they experience a shock. we have tested all wiring and everything is in proper order. we even repalced the receptacles at the work station with GFCI type to see if they trip when the accident happens, but hey do not trip.
I am almost certain it is the static electricity that causes the shocks and not the AC power of the building, but am puzzled that it only happens (according to the owner) when they are plugging in sumthing and at the same time they are touching the stailess steel table.
Has anybody have anything like this in the past.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
