When we roll the cart from classroom to classroom teachers are receiving an electrical shock when they touch doorknobs or elevator button
This was straight from a Bretford tech:
There are no capacitors or anything
that can hold a charge on the cart itself. The only thing that we've
been able to come up with thus far is that dry air in the schools may
help generating static electricity. Common precautions would be 1. make
sure the ground plug is still on the cord. (This can get broken off if
the cart is moved with the cord still plugged into the wall.) Plugging
the ground cord in won't help however if the person has to grab the door
handle to open the door to get to the wall outlet. 2. If the air is dry
(ie: people get shocks even without the cart or the problem goes away
in the spring when the humidity goes up), gently push the metal of the
cart handle against the door frame prior to reaching for the door
handle. This will discharge any static electricity that was built up as
the person walked with the cart safely to the door jamb prior to the
person reaching for the door handle.
Additionally they suggested hanging a chain under the cart that drags on the ground while the cart is being transported. This should help discharge some of the built up static.
