[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 467170, member: 6969"] Sounds like a normal electric shock. Contrary to popular belief you don't die instantly. The RCD did it's job and cut off the supply before any real harm was done. A good example of why they are fitted and a good example why you isolate a circuit and test that it is actually dead before touching it. You would only get a physical burn if the shock lasted longer than it did. It's 230V (usually more like 240) in Scotland, the same as the rest of the UK [/QUOTE]
