Moogle,

Your post is somewhat unclear and I think Tom might have misunderstood you. I also wanna make sure I am not misunderstanding you.

Are you getting the shock from the cable or from the switch box?
Or both? And what are you sayign you are switching. Are you actually doing a cable swap each time, or do you just mean a lever/knob on the switch box?

I get the impression you mean the knob on the switch box.

Well, you should not receive a shock on any electrical device really, (Unless it's an electric chair :p) so I'd say if the box is shocking you that you have a short in the box. Same with the cable. If the shock is there, then you have a short.

Also, make sure you are properly polarizing any three prong plugs. Don't do a 3-2'er, that's dangerous.

So whatever is actually causing the shock, return it for a exchange towards a new one.
