I used our Magimix coffee machine at the weekend and after use (as we always do) I unplugged it coiled up the mains flex/cable. As I did I inadvertantly touched the Live and Neutral pins of the plug and got one hell of a shock...big enough to make me jump across the kitchen, right arm, side of face numb and interesting metallic taste.
Bottom line its going in the bin to be replaced, however out of curiosity more than anything is this as a circumstance of some failure in the the house installation or some charge build up in the device?
I understand a physical test can only determin what caused this, however I've never experienced it from any other device ini the house or anywhere/anytime else?!
Bring on the science!
