 you tell if the shock was a sustained AC shock or something more like a cap
 discharging?  A defect in the NST may have allowed something to

Hi All,
    I don't remember if i did unplug the NSTs during this shock, but i 
probably did. I remember that day i was grounded to my ground rod because i 
was trying to parallel a 15/60 and 15/30 together (of course this was my 
first time so i was scared of it as it is.) After the paralleling was done, i 
setup the jacobs ladder. I still don't know why it happeend, but i'm glad to 
say i haven't been shocked again since that day!
