1. Low indoor humidity
When the humidity in the air is low, it is easy to generate static electricity between objects, because dry air will make objects more likely to be charged with static electricity. If the treadmill is placed in a place with low humidity, static electricity will be generated more frequently.
2. Too much friction
When the treadmill is moving, it will produce friction. If the rotating parts of the treadmill are not smooth enough or the lubricating oil is insufficient, the friction will increase accordingly, resulting in static electricity on the treadmill.
3. The treadmill is poorly grounded
Poor grounding is also a possibility of static electricity generated by the treadmill, because there are many wires inside the treadmill body. If the wire is poorly grounded, the charge will not flow to the ground, so the static electricity will become particularly prominent.
4. Electrostatic impedance problem
Electrostatic impedance of treadmill is also a very important issue. If the electrostatic impedance is too large, it is easy to generate static electricity, which requires professional testing personnel to come and repair it.
5. Improper use
Improper use is also an important reason for static electricity generated by treadmills. When users wear synthetic fiber clothes (such as pure cotton) and hold metal parts when the treadmill is running, static electricity will be generated on the treadmill, so users should avoid this situation.
Generally speaking, static electricity is inevitable, but we can take some measures to reduce this situation. For example, adjust humidity, increase lubricating oil, and pay attention to grounding. Let your treadmill have as few static problems as possible during normal use.
