Ps4 plug pulled out of the socket and received an electric shock?
I just unplugged my Ps4 and got an electric shock. I think the plug is still half in the socket and I actually haven't touched anything on the plug. Is it dangerous?
You can't get electrocuted if you just touch the plastic.
And you can only touch the metal pins of the plug when the plug is no longer in the socket.
What exactly did you touch when you got the blow?
To be honest, I somehow can't even remember it because I was so scared. Most of all I touched these metal wires that go up in the socket.
I think you should call an electrician to investigate the matter.
Is it dangerous? Should I be worried
So theoretically nothing can happen… According to the descriptions, I assume that you have either statically discharged (via the protective contact of the socket) or you actually came to the plug contact after pulling out and a capacitor of the power supply unit got over your fingers / Hand unload… Neither is bad and harmless… Structurally, you can't touch dangerous parts when pulling out…
Only, should the protective contact of the socket be live due to a fault, it would be dangerous when touching it, as well as when using devices with conductive housing parts.
Did it just bite a bit or was it painful?
Metal wires? Do you mean the protective contacts?
https://de.wikipedia.org/...utzkontakt
Is there any way you can test whether there's voltage on the contacts? Do you have a measuring device?
More like only onions, but I've never felt it so strongly before.
Yes that's exactly what I mean. Unfortunately I don't have.
You have not received an electric shock, provided the cable is not damaged (visible from the outside)
Is impossible with European / German sockets and plugs, as the pins on the plug no longer have contact with the socket if the plug has been pulled out beyond the insulation (the pins).
Was either static discharge or residual voltage in the capacitors. But it's not dangerous.
Can't it also be that I got a "lightning bolt" from the socket
Summary:
In Germany, it is only possible to touch the connector pins when the connector has been pulled out completely.
After pulling out the plug, you can still touch the residual voltage in the device for a little more than a second. But it's not dangerous.
The visible contacts (metal pins) are not live.
You would have perceived a lightning strike differently.
Another possibility is not yet listed. You had a slipping of a tendon / nerve / … You also know it in other places during movements. They are often perceived as being like an electric shock. If this happens while working in the area of an electrical system, one thinks only of an electric shock.
Ne haha … Excluded
If everything is ok and nothing is damaged, you can't get a blow, like my professional experience in this area
I had suspected something like that because of my suggestion with the electrician.
