What REALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU SPILL WATER in an OUTLET?
Переглядів 5,916,625
3 роки томуWhat happens when you get water in an electric outlet without gfci? YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE. Can you run lights or a toaster under water? appliance & lights underwater? One of my viewers wanted to know what happens when an outlet gets wet & it's not protected by a GFCI plug.

@bobWsterguy 3 роки тому
@@andrewpeterson9250 I suspect that if you had salt it will cause all the breakers to trip because it will short out. Probably would be dangerous. Certainly don't touch the water if it's got salt in it as it will likely be conductive.
@Ry____ 3 роки тому
The reason why the outlet never tripped is because the water wasn’t conductive enough to draw enough amps to trip the breaker. The reason why the GFCI outlet tripped is because it is much more sensitive. GFCI works on the principle of differential, or in laymen’s terms “what goes in must come out”. It measures the current “into” the phase wire and “returning” on the neutral wire, and if any current “escapes” this zone, which would be going to the ground in this example, it trips the outlet. GFCI outlets require only a tiny amount of current “escaping” to trip, and that’s why it tripped in this case. If you measured the current in the ground wire, you will probably see an increase in ground current when the water hits it. It could be really small or it could be just below the minimum amperage trip that the breaker is rated for. That is a dangerous condition when the ground is “energized”. This means there is a voltage potential gradient where current can flow. If your body ends up being within that voltage gradient, you could become a conductor of current, and it only takes milliamps to stop your heart…This is also why this condition is so dangerous because it could take 20 Amps to trip the breaker (without GFCI).

Some things to consider: - This was tap water. Putting a moderate amount of salt in the water would still not have caused sparking or instant breaker popping, but would definitely have caused a more violent reaction - like,. more bubbles, possibly even visible additional heat. By using water as salty as sea water, you may actually get something spectacular to happen, maybe even pop a breaker, but probably not yet. - There is also secondary water damage. The moment water gets on a voltage differential, electrolysis takes place, which changes the chemical composition of the surfaces, and tends to weaken the outside surfaces of wires. In particular, a perfectly fine wire nut or wago connection could become a weak or high resistance one, and possibly even arc and start a fire. That latter effect is typically too long term to be visible in a video recorded on a single day, but is actually a common cause of house fires. This is why outlets and electrical boxes that have ever been wet need to be replaced, even if they appear fine right now.

@la7dfa Рік тому
What's important is the conductivity of the water. Actually, it will vary a lot since it depends on the salt ions from your water source. Distilled water is almost a perfect isolator, while seawater has larger conductivity than fresh water. For humans, the most dangerous cases are when you are touching AC, especially roughly the 50 or 60Hz mains frequencies. It makes your muscles cramp and you might get stuck unable to release yourself from the source... The most dangerous thing is when the current through your heart exceeds 50mA or so, because it may give you cardiac arrest. Regarding the measurement with a probe in the water, the result will depend on the instrument impedance and the conductivity of the particular water source. Even if you measure a "high" voltage, it does not have to be deadly for humans, since the current is what is most important in that case.
@esl4058 Рік тому
As an electrician, the resistance of the water has nothing to do with voltage. He’s using the line voltage in his home which is 120 volts. If you tested the water to ground your meter would read 120. It’s just part of the circuit. It’s no different than a wire nut full of splices all heading in different directions.

It can definitely be an issue, even with a generator. Yes there will be a different way of how it derives the ground (at least that's what I think, you can't power your home with a generator where I live should there be a huge power outage, which are rare even just for the short, on average 30 minutes lasting ones and even more rare for the hour long ones) in the installation, but you will still get a shock if there is a way for power to flow through you back to ground or the neutral. There's a difference in potential (voltage) so any possibility of that potential flowing through you will make you at risk of suffering the effects of it.

I used to be an electronics service technician. Not surprised one bit by the results. The water although somewhat conductive, still has high resistance. So, there isn't enough current flowing through the water to trip the breaker. The path of least resistance is still through the item plugged in. Still, no one should try this as doing the wrong thing could injure or kill you. The way people get electrocuted (die from electric shock) is when current flows through their body causing the heart to stop. Just sticking your arm in (don't try that) without a path for the current to flow through your body would probably not do much. The problem comes when you touch ground with your other arm or legs. Current flowing arm to arm could kill you especially when in water, because it gives more surface area on the skin for the current to flow through you.

@@altair_sound I don't know where you got that idea, but it's totally wrong. Not just wrong, but opposite to reality. There are basically NO countries south of the Equator that use 110/120.

@@sherlockhomeless7249 I'd be surprised you'd get it to trip a regular breaker or spark with just salt water. It's not THAT conductive. OTOH the grounded surface area in an outlet with electrical box is HUGE, probably in a multi outlet too. The live surface area isn't that big though, still... MAYBE? My expectation though is that it'd basically cook the salt water until it's gone, making a huge mess in the process and splashing drops of hot salt water. And ruining the internal wiring. It's POSSIBLE you'd get it to electrolyze some wire or solder connection apart, to the point of causing arcs - but I kinda doubt it'd happen within just minutes.

It's still deadly you just can't see it as clearly. You can't actually see electricity, you can only see what it does. Thats why power lines and cables don't look any different when on vs off. The reason why it's dangerous is because water is a liquid conductor of electricity, but it doesn't do it as well as metal, and its conductivity depends on whats in it. So touching that water would be like touching a live wire. You can't see the electricity but it's still there and it will still stop your heart.

Water itself isn't the conductor, it's dissolved and suspended elements in the water that conduct electricity, and the reason it's so dangerous is because since water flows so freely, if the water has a lot of suspended/dissolved conductive particles in it, you've basically got a liquid wire that can move in unpredictable ways and touch things you don't want it to. But, if your water is distilled, or even just really well filtered, it won't conduct enough of a charge to trip a regular 10+amp breaker like you would think. Would you have felt a shock had you touched the water while it was live? Possibly, but it "probably" wouldn't have been very strong. Water has pretty high resistance in the absence of dissolved/suspended particles, so the path of least resistance is still through the items you have plugged in, not through the water into your hand.

Not an electrician, but I believe the GFCI is meant for cases where you short the circuit by grabbing on to plumbing or something which is itself not a great ground. It then detects the difference in the current that flows int he hot, and neutral, the difference being the current that now is flowing through you.
@Dutch3DMaster 8 місяців тому
It is meant for any situations in which the chance of a typically metal casing of an appliance like a washing machine or a clothes dryer might also be in a humid or wet room (bathroom) could cause an increased risk of electrocution due to a live wire touching the metal casing that you then could touch, possibly even worse: when standing on wet tiles after a shower. In The Netherlands, it used to be common to have the upstairs bathroom (where the shower typically is, but also a place to place a washing machine) be equipped with a ground fault interruption device, just like in the kitchen, but I think nowadays all sockets need to be behind either combined or separated breaker and ground fault interruption devices. My parent's home has combined ones for all breakers (about 7 of them, with 2 other breakers being 3-phase + neutral, 1 is the main breaker, and the other is the electric cooker breaker). The description of the ground fault interruption device is correct, though I think a common misconception (if I say this correctly) is that an earth wire is needed on the socket that is behind one: current leaking to earth is sensed regardless.

Actually, pure water with no contamination is an insulator. However water is a good dissolver and therefore is will become contaminated very soon after being placed anywhere.

@JustinL614 Рік тому
For other experiments it would matter. We already know a small amount of electrical current was flowing through the water because the GFCI tripped. Let's say that there is a 20A breaker that this circuit is on.. you could keep dumping bags of salt into this water and by the time it tripped the solution would be nothing like any water in a house where you would find toasters, power strips and light bulbs. Once you change the variables too much the experiment becomes useless.
@BigUriel Рік тому
Also 120V is relatively mild compared to 230-240V that is used in most other places around the world. Plus a surge protector strictly speaking trips when the mains voltage exceeds a certain threshold. A surge protector is there to protect the devices plugged into it from something like a lighting strike nearby, not to protect people from getting shocked. As the input voltade didn't change by putting the extension in water as far as a surge protector is concerned everything is fine. There are two ways in which putting something in water may cause a circuit to trip which are 1) the fuse on the breaker IF the extension draws more current than the socket is meant for (may not happen with pure water, even if you put your hand on it and get shocked) and 2) the RCD will trip if enough current starts leaking to ground and this is what will protect you if you put your hand on it, but it won't work if the extension/device isn't even grounded (and a lot aren't). If the device isn't grounded and you happen to touch both live and neutral (instead of ground) there is really nothing there to protect you because the breaker has no way of knowing that the current is going through you rather than any other electrical device, and because the human body has a fairly high resistance the current won't be enough to blow the fuse.
@MouseDestruction 5 місяців тому
Be interesting to know how far away in the water you would need to be to avoid being shocked. I doubt a toaster is going to fry much of a large swimming pool for instance. Or all the fish in lakes would be dead from lightening strikes lol. Still, its not something I would be willing to testing by hand. Also could figure out how much is going through the toaster without going into the water, I assume the metal is a reasonably good path of least resistance?
