Getting shocked by an outlet can cause pain, muscle spasms, burns, and even serious injuries like cardiac arrhythmias. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience a shock from an outlet to assess for any potential internal injuries or long-term effects. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the electrical system is properly grounded and there are no exposed wires to prevent future incidents.

Installed one outlet in basement on a breaker and you get shocked when you touch the metal of things plugged into it or the metal outlet box itself Why?
This could be due to a fault in the wiring or the outlet itself, causing the metal surfaces to become live with electricity. It is important to turn off the power to that outlet immediately and have a qualified electrician inspect and repair the issue to prevent the risk of electrical shock or fire.
What happens if an outlet is not grounded?
If an outlet is not grounded, it means that there is no path for excess electrical current to safely dissipate. This can increase the risk of electric shock or fire in the event of a short circuit or power surge. It may also cause interference with electronic devices connected to the outlet.
What happens if i plug a 25 amps machine to a 30 amps outlet?
Plugging a lower drain machine into a higher drain outlet is perfectly fine, the outlet will be able to deliver all that the machine needs. And the machine will only use up what it needs, so having excess at the outlet isn't going to hurt anything. The other way around, a machine pulling more than the outlet can deliver, will trip the breaker or blow the fuse.
