If they are PVC then they store a great amount of static electricity especially when very dry.It could be charged by you cleaning the gutter with your shirtsleeve and then discharged when you touched it. If they are metal gutters check any wiring like phone wires or any house wiring insulation near gutters. Fit an RCD anyway to your circuit breaker box they are life savers.

RafaGutters can give an electrical shock if they are not properly grounded or if there is faulty wiring nearby. Water and moisture can also increase the risk of electrical shock in gutters, especially if there is any exposed wiring or electrical components in or around the gutter system. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent electrical hazards in gutters.

Suitable polymer and the likely manufacturing process for rainwater gutters and drainpipes?
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a suitable polymer for rainwater gutters and drainpipes due to its durability, resistance to corrosion, and low cost. The likely manufacturing process for these products would be extrusion, where PVC resin is melted and formed into the desired gutter or pipe shape through a die. This method is efficient and allows for the production of long lengths of gutters and drainpipes.
Why do you experience a shock in an open circuit?
In an open circuit, there is a break in the path for electrical current to flow. When this break is bridged by a person touching the wires, the current can flow through the person's body, resulting in an electric shock. The severity of the shock depends on the voltage of the circuit and the resistance of the person's body.
What would Happen to you if you put your hand in a electricity Eel in an tank?
If you were to put your hand in a tank with an electric eel, you would likely receive a powerful electric shock. Electric eels are capable of generating a strong electrical current to stun prey and defend themselves from predators. This could potentially cause injury or harm to you.
How wire a 3.7 hp 220V motor?
This type of question usually means you aren't ready to do this yourself. Study some electrical material and the National Electrical Code and work this answer out for yourself. If I were to give you an answer, you might attempt to do something you shouldn't be doing, and that may cost someone a shock, a home fire, or their life.
Why neutral wire doesn't give electric shock?
The neutral wire doesn't give an electric shock because it is the same potential as ground. That being said if you come in contact with the "hot" wire and the neutral or ground wire, you become the load and will receive a substantial shock.
