If you don't unplug the electric water heater while taking a bath, will there be any leakage of electricity?

Will the electric water heater leak electricity if the plug is not unplugged in the bath?

Many people worry that the electric water heater that is turned on continuously will leak while taking a bath, so they unplug the power and take a bath.

Usually the water heaters installed in the home are storage water heaters, which are heated first and then store hot water. But in fact, the water and circuit of ordinary water heaters are separated, and the components have their own insulation device, which does not energize the water. A good electric water heater usually has a leakage protector device. Once a leakage occurs, the water heater will immediately shut down.

At the same time, the ground wire at home can also protect us from electric shock, because once there is a leakage, the current will flow through the ground wire and not the human body to the ground. Therefore, these heavy protections allow us to use electric water heaters with confidence.

Then why does the electric water heater leak? Generally speaking, there are several situations

1. Irregular installation of the water heater, if there is no professional electrician wiring, it is easy to cause wiring installation errors;

2. Leakage caused by circuit aging;

3. The electric water heater has a long service life, causing serious corrosion of the inner tank.

4. Choosing inferior products produced by informal manufacturers cannot guarantee safety.

Everyone must pay attention to the above situation. In order to avoid leakage of electricity and water, a good water heater is particularly important!
