One of the Electrohome monitors that was very common in arcade games of the early 80s has a second fuse after the bulk filter capacitor. When the flyback or HOT fails it will normally blow this fuse leaving the capacitor fully charged. I have been bit a couple times by one of those, even though it's "only" 170V it packs an enormous punch.
Electrohome design is to say the least, idiosyncratic!
Back in the day, I discovered another way to get "zapped", when digging round in the guts of a washing machine.
This machine had quite a large oil filled capacitor connected across the Mains during use.----I am vague about its purpose, it was many years ago.
I turned the washer off, unplugged it from the ac Mains, & delved confidently inside.
Anti-intuitively, I "copped" a nice shock.
It turns out that mechanical switches are quite fast compared to the 20ms occupied by the 50Hz cycle, so the power can easily be cut off part way through a cycle, charging the cap to whatever polarity & amplitude the cycle is in at that instant.
"Sod's Law" decrees that it won't be at a zero crossing!
I knew special relays could be very fast--- changing the RF drive on the old Marconi TV transmitters only caused the loss of a few lines on the transmitted picture, but I always thought ordinary switches were fairly leisurely in action!
