What would be a simple rat trap that could be used to kill but not cook them just a good jolt, your thoughts?

I was doing a job 120km away in Christchurch about 3 years back.
I was wearing Live Gloves and contacted the fence that the former owner had put up.
It was run at 400V between the fence wires.
There was a helluva bang when it hit the metal roof.
Had have I not been wearing gloves I'd not be writing this.
