Pure water (H2O) is an insulator, but when it has impurities (like the minerals you might find in tap water), it becomes a conductor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In America, you have ground fault protection. In Soviet Russia, finding fault with the "protection" can put YOU in ground.

apuszczalowski Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 7 hours ago, WhoTom said: 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. You guys require GFI in the garage? interesting, I don't think they require them in the garage around here, just kitchen (near the sink/counter) and bathrooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A phone plugged directly into a wall socket charging wouldn't be any different then a toaster or other appliance plugged into the wall. And I don't think Russia would have strict Building/Electrical codes, especially in some of their old buildings that would require them to all have GFI outlets everywhere.

She looks like someone who would be on her phone charging while in the tub..... Pretty sure it would be different. Since you are charging a battery, not using a live, open current like a toaster or hair dryer. Only one way to know for sure. I nominate @Gugny to get in the tub. edit: From some brief googling, it seems a cell phone plugged into a quality charger wouldnt have an issue. But if they were using an extension cord and that fell in, or a low-quality aftermarket charger, or a charger with a frayed cable... that could do it. Especially the extension cord, and less likely but possible with the frayed/bad charger. Edited September 25, 2019 by DrDawkinstein 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchen not necessarily. Refrigerators, no gfci. Same with sump pump in basement. Don't want a nuisance trip and spoil your food or flood your basement. 39 minutes ago, apuszczalowski said: A phone plugged directly into a wall socket charging wouldn't be any different then a toaster or other appliance plugged into the wall.
