Well, once I was fixing a friend's computer at his house, I went to toilet break, came back with damp hands, and started unplugging power plugs. I had my left hand on the carpet, right hand on the switch, trying to pull those big transformers out. Those transformers are hard to get off, so I inserted my fingers under it..... the index finger on my right hand felt some strong currents, so I pulled it out, and it was numb for minutes.
Anyways, does wearing anti static glove help when working with electricity? What's the safest way to discharge a capacitor and does not damage the capacitor? (Direct lead-to-lead will damage the capacitor I think)
