Electric shocks from computer case
I've started getting electric shocks from the computer case.
I've tried two different power supplies - I get shocks with both. They are too strong to be static electricity IMO. I put a voltmeter between the case and a rad pipe. I can't measure any voltage on AC or DC, I've tried all the voltmeter settings up to 500V. I've tested the voltmeter on a mains wire - it reads 230-240V reliably. Interestingly, if I use the circuit tester function, there is a circuit present between the rad pipe I was using as ground and the case. Could they both be at the same potential maybe? Nick |
