If you experience a slight electric shock or tingling sensation when touching the miner after powering it on, it is usually not a strong electric shock but caused by one of the following common reasons:
1. Induced Current (Stray Voltage)
When the miner is powered on, the metal casing may carry a small amount of induced voltage due to a poorly grounded power supply or power grid environment. This is typically a very low current (within safe levels), but can cause a mild tingling sensation when touched.
2. No Proper Grounding
If the power socket you’re using lacks a ground connection, or if the power supply does not support grounding, the stray voltage on the miner’s casing cannot be discharged. This increases the chance of feeling a shock when touching the device. This is especially noticeable when using switching power supplies.
3. Humidity or Static Electricity
A humid environment or static build-up may also increase the sensation of induced current when touching the metal surface of the miner.
✅ Recommended Solutions:
-
Use a properly grounded power outlet or power strip. Ensure the ground wire is properly connected and functional.
-
Avoid touching the miner’s metal casing with bare hands, especially in damp or humid environments.
-
If the shock feels unusually strong, stop using the device immediately and contact after-sales support to check for possible grounding or leakage issues with the power supply or the miner itself.
