The collector plate or spinning. drum for collecting the fibers probably adds 30-60 pf, especially when grounded via a 10k or 100k current sensing resistor.

Pardon the dumb question - but if there is already a 10-100k current
sense at low potential why all this complexification with isolated
current sensing floating up at many kV?

In my case, the collection plate is at -3 to -6kV.
