Plugs vs. Water: What Actually Keeps You Safe

from My Weird Prompts

Most people assume a plastic flap on an outlet keeps water out. It doesn't. This episode unpacks the gap between what feels safe and what's engineered to be safe — from bathroom steam creeping into plug gaps via capillary action, to outdoor lights dying after a few rainy seasons. We cover RCDs vs. grounding, the difference between damp and wet locations, and why a weatherproof-while-in-use cover beats a flap every time. Plus: when to hardwire instead of plug, and why a Euro plug in an Israeli outlet might mean your ground is floating. Episode #920301 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/920301
