**Step 1:** Review the known categories of electrical burn injuries. Electrical burns can be divided into:
- $$ 	extbf{Electrical burns} $$: Burns caused by the passage of electric current through tissues.
- $$ 	extbf{Arc flash burns} $$: Burns resulting from the heat and light produced when an electrical arc discharges.
- $$ 	extbf{Thermal contact burns} $$: Burns that occur when the body comes into contact with surfaces heated by electricity or related phenomena.

**Step 2:** Define the term "shock."  
$$ 	extbf{Shock} $$ in the context of electrical injuries refers to a condition often resulting from the passage of electricity that affects the cardiovascular system (or other physiological systems). It is an electrical injury but not a burn.

**Step 3:** Identify the option that is not a category of electrical burns.  
Options provided:  
a) Electrical  
b) Arc flash  
c) Shock  
d) Thermal contact

Since $$ 	extbf{shock} $$ is a systemic response and a type of electrical injury rather than a specific burn type, it is not classified as a category of electrical burns.

**Answer:**  
$$ \boxed{c) 	ext{ Shock}} $$
Shock is not a category of electrical burns.
