That 60 volts (RMS) comes from a voltage divider made up of two capacitors.. The capacitor is two metal pieces with insulation between them

Since all 3 wires are the same length that makes a 1/2 voltage divider.
Current limit is kind of tiny though.
So does this mean many or most rigs WILL tingle, even if wiring is OK on an Outlet Tester?
