Computer room static blowing server power supplies

[Rich Grise, but drunk]

I wonder why the arc jumps a 1" gap between the chopper and the
chassis. Why not the much smaller (?) gap on the underside of the PCB?

Pretty good, considering that the tiles are the only thing that changed.

The OP states that "the failures/arcs in our supplies have all arced
from the 120vac chopper regulator collector to the PS case."

I would have thought that zinc whiskers would result in random faults.
