I wonder if they have ground fault protection in Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT is NOT the voltage that will kill you but the CURRENT. In reality, most laptop computers, tablets, cell phones, and camera battery chargers operate in a range between 100 volts and 240 volts, covering the standards found in the US and Canada plus Europe and many other parts of the world. Most also work with electric frequencies ranging from 50 Hertz to 60 Hertz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'If the phone had not been plugged in to 220 volts, the tragedy would not have happened.' Who plugs a phone into 220? I think what they meant was that it wouldn't have happened if the phone hadn't been plugged into an AC outlet which, in Europe, is 220V. (If the same accident happened in the US, they'd have said 110V.) The phone itself, unplugged, wouldn't provide enough current to electrocute someone. In theory, a GFCI outlet would have prevented this. That's why the National Electric code requires them in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages.
