@SuperSluether @tryst @melroy @KayOhtie The audio is some old recording from England, if I remember correctly.
It's kind of a meme now especially under professional electricians.
(Training some myself, this kind of video is always nice to make people think about electrical safety)

Jencen - Please don't call me Derg@Erpel @SuperSluether @melroy @KayOhtie @tryst I once had a customer who said "I get a shock when I touch the sink and the washing machine"
Told them not to touch the sink and the washing machine!
I then proceeded to touch the sink and the washing machine. Oooh tingly!
I'll just touch it again to make sure. Yep. That's an electrical fault!!!
@SuperSluether @melroy @KayOhtie @tryst @Jencen Depending on the voltages a RCD (GFCI in north America) should catch that.
we feel way smaller currents than the ones that make those trip rhough

@Erpel @SuperSluether @melroy @KayOhtie @tryst I'd say it was about 5-10 mA
But a lot of houses UK side still don't have RCD stuff. I imagine it's more now than when I was a site spark 15 years ago.
But that was the main part of the business at the time. Board changes to meet RCD regs

@Jencen @Erpel @SuperSluether @melroy @KayOhtie Had this exact fault at my parents' in Italy. The supply was TT, but the spark had wired it as TNC-S, so there was a few volts between the CPC and the water pipe. A ground rod and separating N and E fixed the problem.
@Jencen @SuperSluether @melroy @KayOhtie @tryst TN-C-S by accident is not something I hear very oftenโ

โ@Erpel @SuperSluether @melroy @Jencen @KayOhtie The sparky was not competent. My great uncle Guido knew someone who could "do it cheaper" than a qualified electrician. There are so many issues with that installation.

schratze@Jencen @Erpel @melroy @KayOhtie @tryst I lived in a house once where the advice was "close the washing machine and only then press the start button, otherwise touching the door will give you an electric shock"
It took the previous residents a broken washing machine and a broken dryer until they finally took a look at the wall socket
Ed Davies@schratze @Jencen @Erpel @melroy @KayOhtie @tryst Some chaps I worked with in the early 80s shared a rental house. The washing machine was in an outhouse in the garden. The landlord was aware that was a tricky situation electrically so he made the installation โsuper safeโ by fusing all three wires.
Yeah, there was a leakage fault to the earthed case, the fuse in the earth wire blew and they started getting shocks, fortunately small, at which point they worked out what was going on.
