About 5 years ago during a full refurb on my house I re-wired the property myself (old aluminium wiring) in line with 17th edition. I had it all checked by building control and received the EICR certificate which passed on each part without any faults etc.
The earthing arrangement is TN-C-S.
I have noticed today when rubbing the side of a stainless steel pot on the induction hob an electrical sensation. The hob is on its own circuit and has its own isolation switch.
I confirmed with my multimeter that there is 50Hz between the pot and ground and some voltage (my meter is too slow to pick it up reliably) in the region of a couple of volts.
I confirmed that the hob body is 0v to earth by touching the body to a metal plated socket and metal plated light switch (all different circuits).
Not sure what is going on here or if it's normal?
