I was about to plug in my laptop and then I plugged it into the socket. Suddenly I got a white flash at the socket and immediately pulled the cable out again, that's bad, I'm now afraid to plug it in again
If it's just a small one then that's normal.
I don't know how to call small it was just around the socket est is such a multi-faced socket
That was a so-called arc. When inserting the plug, a large current is generated briefly between the plug contact and the plug. This can create a visible lightning bolt.
Thank you you helped me a lot, could I get electrocuted?
As long as you don't have your fingers directly in the hole (i.e. Not the small but the big one where the plastic and such is put in), nothing can happen to you because the electricity always takes the shortest route.
Ok, the cable is just inside again, because my girlfriend, whose father is an electronic engineer, is angerfuen and he said that it was normal, thanks again for your help
When you get a hit you know it was one too. I can join the Vennesia with the spark.
Is a completely normal switching spark and usually arises when a consumer is plugged in. Happens in every light switch even when switched on, only you can't see it because of the cover
