- What 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.

@@virginia7125 Looks like the hair dryer would keep working but it would be fatal for the person. Scary stuff.
you might be producing hydrogen! also try adding a little salt to the water and see what happens
Maybe you should try adding some salt to the water. That should make it a better conductor. Then what would happen??
@@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.
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).

Tried this! I was blown away by the results as well - hit the wall on the other side of the room and ended up in hospital.
Lol
That was too real 🤣 you’re wrong for that lmaoooo
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.
That last bit of information is really useful. I almost died at 2/3 yo upon touching a splice, so I know not to fuck with electricity or take any risk at all.
I'm guessing distilled water would have no effect whatsoever then, eh?
@@jasondashney Even distilled water can cause corrosion over time. No water is safe.

"Electricity and water do not mix" well the problem is that they actually mix a little too well
Doesn't mix for humans doe you'll be fried as a cook skeleton 💀🚿⚡
The dude that watched the video muted: OK, It's fine. Nothing happens so it's safe. Time to submerge the christmas tree into my pool!
Anything that people say not to make in contact with electricity is just because the electricity likes it a little too well.
There's a lot of experiments on youtube showing water is horrible at conducting electricity. The issue comes from the impurities in the water. Since there's metal and stuff in there that's what makes it more conductive and dangerous. Which is pretty much all water unless you buy destilled water, so it's a "yes but no"
Add some salt it will mix even better
Also, it's best to keep in mind when seeing seemingly nothing happen in these tests that a dangerous amount of electricity is surging through the water and you can't see it. The purpose of this test isn't to see how dangerous a toaster in water is. It's to see if the outlet prevents a safety hazard like this.
Would be fun to see this done with a voltmeter hooked up.
Me through the whole video: Wow all these devices can work in water! They’re built really well.
Me after the video reminded me this means the electricity was running through the water: Oh, yeah that’s bad. 💀
It would read 120 volts.
@@davidprince6877 would be fun to see in a swimming pool full of people
Funny, mine gets a little water on it outside and trips..this video is not real..
you should have tested the water with a multimeter. It would have been interesting to see what the voltage would have been from one probe to the other in water, and one probe to ground in another.
The voltage would likely read close to 120v.
@@rylandavis2976 I dont think it would. Actually Don't think i would show any reading at all.
What makes you say that?
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.
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.

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.
Yikes !!!!
Same here but I did wonder if he'd get a shock through that continuous stream of water from the hose to the socket. Both the regular breaker and the GFCI setup worked exactly as they're meant to. No surprises there.
@@anonymouseniller6688 To get shocked you need a path to ground or to a conductor at a different voltage. Otherwise there is no current flow. There could be a small amount or current flowing through the water stream, but that wouldn't affect him.
@@my3dviews i dont believe that a plug submeged in water has more resistance than a goddamn 1200W toaster
@@piergiorgio919 It has to do with the conductivity of the water. Which isn't that high, so it doesn't trip the breaker. So, most of the current still flows through the toaster heating elements as it does not being submerged.
Best ad of the extension lead you can ever imagine. Would def buy Kensington 🤩
This was a fun video. I had my electrician change out my sump pump outlet in the basement to a gfci outlet. I need to have him come back and switch it to a newer gfci outlet with a built in trip alarm. You might like to do a video on that. I saw it on a Instagram video and the gfci alarm outlets are a great idea.
Clean water is an insulator. Contaminated water can conduct electricity and the results would have been very different. Stay safe and use an appropriate electrical safety device especially when working outdoors or in damp situations.
@@Tb0n3 one good way to eyeball the ionic content is to look for bubbles. A current will break down water into hydrogen and oxygen gas by electrolysis, and because it's alternating current, the gasses would be mixed and able to be ignited by any spark.
It would have to have a lot of stuff in it to draw enough current to trip a normal breaker. Ultimately there would still have to be a sustained current draw of more than 15 amps to make it trip without the GFCI.
@@nekilikizhrvatske3336 So you deny that electrolysis exists, without evidence, and claim that "sparks" are made by "high current"? And I should care about this why?

Your mileage WILL actually vary depending on where you live. If the water in your area is harder (ie, has more mineral content), then it'll be FAR more conductive. The temperature of the water also matters. This was probably done with 110v, but most of the world uses 220v to 240v, voltage also matters.
Right, kind of a let down that they didn't mention this in the video....
Yep, agree.
In fact, only the northern part of the world uses 220v in a common way, from the center to the south of the world, 120v is already used usually (there are exceptions, but it is to give us an idea)
@@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. The only places south of the Equator that use 110/120 are a tiny bit of Colombia (most of it is in the northern hemisphere) and part of Ecuador. That's it, a small part of two countries. Pretty much all countries that use 110 are in the northern hemisphere, namely all countries in North America and most in Central America plus Japan. The entire rest of the world is all 220 to 240v.

It is all you need though.
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.

Electrical engineer here. Despite their being water on the circuit, the Electrical current will still travel along the wires because wires have less resistance than water. The danger here is if that water became grounded. For example, placing your hand in the water and then grabbing a grounded copper pipe. His experiment doesn't show the potential danger here, only that some electrical devices don't have a problem operating underwater.
Interesting
Presumably, the breaker tripped when he used the protected outlet because the outlet strop was lying on the ground? Although I'm not too sure where the water could've formed the path to the ground
Could be wrong. But I would also think if the water was grounded, you would still get current flowing through your body sticking any object in the water. Since it would just travel through the object submerged in the water. But obviously not as much as sticking your hands directly in the water.
I have the exact same toaster that he used in this video. That's pretty wild that a non GFCI power strip still works when you put water in it. Although I think my next power strip will have a GFCI protector in it

It's because you are using a very high quality extension outlet. The electrical cord alone is thick.
What really happens when you spill even just a bit of water to an outlet, is that it starts to burn. It's a slow burn depending on the material or plastic the outlet is housed in. It will cause electrocution and definitely can start a fire. I was only able to see what was happening when it was too late. I started to smell something burning. Who knows what would happen if I wasn't there. I don't even know how it got wet with water. Years later, it still works though. I just don't use the socket that burned. I also don't handle that part. Can't do anything at the moment because of my situation so have to make do. Even if I don't unplug it, it's okay. As long as there's no water or moisture.
P.S. Someone also said that the rest of the world uses 220-240V sockets/electricity/appliances. That's what we have here. I also experienced that when I was young and water dripped on the wall from the storms and it got into a wall socket.

Drivers have demanded to be back at the warehouse by a certain time with ALL outbound packages delivered, and if one is still on the truck without an explication, the driver is punished (stupid I know) or sometimes even cited. You don’t think this raises stress? Please take more than a nanosecond to think about what people like package delivery drivers have to deal with and don’t default to one issue or fuckoff meme.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk. This was serious.

“so now we’re gonna do the final test. there’s one problem,” (me thinking of the hundreds of things wrong with this experiments). “it won’t fit in the tank. so i plugged in the toaster underwater.” LMAO
Love this vid and found the results suprising. Id love to see you revisit this vid again, except using salt water. I think that might trip the non GFCI breaker. Also might cause exciting sparks if lucky.
Yeah there are not enough electrolytes in water to short circuit
@@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.

Now I know when my coffee pot goes out, I can heat my coffee with the toaster. Thanks 😉
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.
This depends heavily on the water used. Pure water is an insulator, it is the other elements in the water (not the water itself) that can carry a lot of current. Using water from a lake or ocean is likely going to have a better chance of flipping a breaker.
I don’t think so
@@TimsNeggs By definition, he is mostly correct. Pure water (Distilled water) is a very poor conductor of electricity but it is not considered "an insulator".
salt is fairly conductive.
Do a part 2 test!
@@ruffxm isnt air a insulator tho?
This kind of content is exactly what the world needs! Please post shorts continuously and save RUclips 🥺
Thats a damn good power strip! Cudos to that manufacturer.
Would be interesting to see the voltage of the water measured.. also the difference between salt water and tap water.
In South Africa, every circuit fed from the main breaker is protected by an earth leakage (GFCI) plugs, lights, stove, hot water cylinder. This is of course what the regulations say, in real life it’s often very different!
Haha, yeah, in real life things are definitely much different. we moved into a brand new complex in SA and we always had problems with electricity tripping and the electrician's solution was to just get rid of the RCD
In China I noticed almost everything was on a GFCI breaker.
The problem with water and electricity is not that they don't mix, but that they mix too well
Yes
@@Woletat yes
@@subliminal9144 yes
Right people think oh if this socket gets wet it will blow up or catch fire but it doesn’t work like that now if you plug it in it’s a i different story but the thing about that it’s already plugged in so it won’t really anything.
For added fun, you can mix water, salt and electricity to unlock chlorine gas, a nice little internationally banned chemical weapon gas
TL;DW: As discussed by many this experiment is highly dependent on the device and the purity of the water. Pure water with no contamination is actually a pretty poor conductor.
Around here they have to put extra chemicals in the water to prevent the water from corroding the pipes all to hell. At the faucet it's going practically no dissolved solids in it.
Still, I'm not sure that I'd care to check to see if there was any conductance going on.
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.
What we see here is relatively low voltage. 120V maybe.
What I can say, if the voltage was 230 it would boil that water tank with extender only after a while. I have seen water boilers working same way, sized as a cup. Water itself is a (average) conductor and heating element.
@@Auberge79 no it isn't water is not a good conductor,
Water with extra elements can conduct
Get bottled water
Pure it into a glass
Create a simple electric circuit with a light bulb and battery
Break the circuit and use water in between the break
I will 100% garrantee the ligh will not work
Now fuck a bit of salt into that water then balm the light turns on
Water does not conduct electricity added elements do
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.
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.
That good to know, I have outlet with a power strip outside under my step. It out in element. Rain water must get on a little, good to know the it won't short out.
“I plugged in the toaster under water” famous last words
So what I learned is the regular powerstrip will never let me down. Not even under water YEAHHHHHH
was this a rickroll
That isnt even the weirdest thing that FedEx driver has seen that week
So that old toaster in the bath cliché you see in some movies doesn't actually work lol 😅😅😅
A good friend was the electrical dept. manager of a family owned "big box" independent hardware store. Also sold LOTS of above ground pools. One spring day, he gets paged over the PA system- "JAMES! PICK UP LINE 3! NOW!!! Seems a customer who bought a pool last year is ready to open the pool for the season- he heard he had to "shock" it.
Customer- "Ok, I've got the black wire in the water on one side of the pool, the white wire in the water on the other. Where do I put the ground wire?"
James- "Just walk away. Don't go NEAR it. Call an electrician. Don't do ANYTHING else."
"Do not try any of this you could die"

Visually, it’s difficult to see that there’s anything wrong with dropping a live toaster into water because nothing happens. It takes an extra mental step to realize nothing happens doesn’t mean it won’t kill you. We know that water’s conductivity increases with contamination, particularly salinity. *Without* using actual power, would be interesting to see if and how much a human body increases the conductivity of a given container of water ie a bathtub.
Yeah put some fish in that tank and then turn it on
if you have pure water (no contaminants) then water is not conductive.

Nah. There is nothing fancy in modern power strips to affect this.
I had a fire when I spilled just a few drops into an older one. I was lucky to be around as it happened around 10 mins after the spill.
