“It’s much more dangerous if the current runs through your body first, then into the water” *lets try it*

@vptech9861 4 года назад

The really most dangerous thing (probably not planned in the script) is when the GFCI falls into the bathtub. This time I was really scared! (Usually I'm familiar with short circuits and component explosions when watching these videos).

In our class of electronic engineers (aprientenceship) There was this big discussion if Mehdi is a retard or a profesional. We concluded: He Posted so many videos, which means if he was stupid, he would have already died. So every stun he makes, is on purpose (or most). So he he is actually a very profesional, because he hasnt died yet.

@rohrichoak9740 3 года назад

Electric showers and even faucets are widely used in Brazil and they rarely are reported to be lethal, BUT you don't want to touch their plastic shielding when your hands are wet (100% guaranteed in the case of faucets). Edit: it tends to be more unpleasant in showers if you raise your hands and touch them than it is when you operate the faucet. Furthermore, grounding is not something people tend to do, except connecting ground wires to neutral.

Combine that with a bathtub, a USB cord to the socket and that European service panel RCD's trigger at 30mA instead of 6mA ... Tragic! What is amazing is that even international supermarket chains sell them. Nobody has been fined or jailed despite plenty of callbacks!

Those electrocution from chargers are often caused by poor insulation.

Concerning the 5 volt phone charger, please watch one of BigClives videos here on RU-vid on a review of a 5 volt converter from "China". It's internal circuit design allowed 120v AC through the metal outer shield of the USB connector. He traced its design & showed that the USB converter circuit board did not have good isolation between the input & output which allowed this danger to occur. Chinese products that use their own design & then manufactured in China can be quite "lethal". Good engineering is crucial. By the way, Mehdi, your RU-vid site is "Awsome". Thanks for making learning fun again!

I can tell that in Kyrgyzstan nobody uses RCDs, and many people even bypass OCPs by winding a thick wire (the thicker the better -- the rarer you'll have to rewind it) over the fuse (there's a lot of 60-70s houses and condos that were never refurbished). I'm surprised we don't have dozens of property burn downs on top of cases of electrocution.

@AtomicAlchemist 4 года назад

The video was uploaded so i guess he survived, the gsci breaker already cut the electricity so there was elecrricity only in the wire to the gfci outlet i think

@shawnniedetzki7548 3 года назад

Same! Looking through comments to see if anyone else was "shocked" by that. The wires inside that box are still live, the box is"weather resistant" not "weather proof". I think he's doing this without live wires and adding sound of gfci later or someone tripping another gfci off camera for the sound.

I'm pretty sure all his setups are wired with an extra layer of protection off camera. for this one the wire to the bxo was probably behind another breaker. pretty sure he's too aware of the danger to have the box with live wires on the bathtub without protection

Just to make things clear (though its 1,5 years passed) - Kreosan started filming his videos while living almost in a warzone (on the southeast of Ukraine). Later on he moved to India. And now he is back to Ukraine - actually, to Chernobyl zone. Locations all over there can't be that glamorous and also can't represent an average apartment in Russia, Ukraine or else.

@@Zearion the breaker will not open. The current flow does not meet the magnetic or thermal limits. I think he was just lucky that the water did not get in yet and also that the current would have gone between the live and neutral / ground at the outlet instead of looping outside through him to the ground in the tub.
