I had a really weird one this morning. Tour came in and wanted to hang three Mac 700s on our FOH truss. Their units use Neutrik True1 powercons, so we used the tour's fanout on our house truss soca. We used three channels of the soca to power the movers, the other three channels remained plugged into a house dimmer. Back in the dimmer room, while plugging in the mover channels to our distro, I got repeated shocks from the *male* L5-20 twist connector from the run. The channels in the house dimmer were at 0%.
Has anyone else ever been bit by the *male* connector on a power cable?
I can only think of two possibilities.
Either: There is a short somewhere in my multi that is allowing voltage to leak from one of the dimmed channels to an adjacent channel.
Or: Maybe the movers have an internal capacitor that can discharge voltage under circumstances like these?
Any insights?
