Thread Name: Tech: electrical shock danger to be aware of
Subject: RE: Tech: danger to be aware of
I have had a shock from the pins of the 3 pin plug of my cylinder vacuum cleaner after simply using it and coiling up the lead.
May have been from the charge in its capacitor or back emf generation from the motor still spinning.
I guess I just switched it off at the wall and unplugged without switching off its own switch which would have isolated the lead from the motor.
