Some years ago a guy promoting his anti-rust spray, he clam that the anti-rust spray have good dielectric, he than spray on the lamp holder & put in to a pail of water with power switch on, this surprise me that does't shot circuit. This recall me that some kattle ( found in the hotel ) , the heater element connected to the live wire was not insulated in the water, but it does not cause any electrical problem when boiling the water. It had confuse me in the electrical safety rule, that is live wire should not contact with water. Can any members help me in this questions ? Thanks. Regards.
