And it took a high voltage transmission wire to stun Cheetah, a high voltage transmission wire carries a current between 500-1000 amp's, 0.01 amp's is all that is required to kill a person.
So Cheetah survived an electrical shock that has between 50,000 - 100,000 times the amount of amp's required to kill the average person, suffered no burns and was only stunned for a few seconds... also she was submerged in water so the electricity might have moved throughout her body since there was no ground for it to escape into.
And we don't know if Diana wasn't shocked too because of the armor or not. It's magical, maybe it protected her, or maybe it's because she's Zeus daughter. Ares wasn't immune to electricity in the first movie, he even got killed by his own lighting.
Diana didn't even know she could fly until this movie, maybe Cheetah can blitz at the speed of light and she just didn't learn how too yet. That's actually what happened too her in the comics, she needed Zoom's help to lower the psychic blockers she unknowingly put in herself that prevented her from movie at Flash-level speed.
