Is it even possible for you to be electrocuted from the 5V 1-2A output that a phone charger puts out? Unless the girl tried to plug the charger into the wall with wet hands I don't see how she could've possibly been electrocuted by her phone charger.

These are now required in US houses in bathrooms, and near the sinks in kitchens, wherever water is.
>>
>>61319744
They're the outlets with the test/reset buttons that cut off when they detect a short. They're required on all new construction / remodleing if the outlet is anywhere near a sink or other water source. I live in TX and my house that was built in the early 80's has them in both bathrooms and the kitchen. You also have to install them in older houses when you sell them (home inspectors will flag the issue).

Not short circuit but rather when the current leaving the power supply is not the same (within 30mA) as the one returning to the power supply.
I'm honestly surprised that it isn't required everywhere now. Here in Germany it's been since 68.

Not him but I have two usb chargers: chink one and LG one and I can assure you there is at least difference in output.

>>61320656
I have a Nexus 4 (made by LG) and I'm scared to use the included charger because it buzzes like a bee. Because of the quick charge shenanigans, chargers are now much more expensive to produce and the amount of true chink level chargers has diminished greatly. I was in China recently and It's practically impossible to find a charger under 20 RMB (About 3 dollars).
>>
>>61319489
when your skin is wet the resistance becomes far lower (sometime up to 100 times lower). Furthermore as the body is fully submerged the decrease in resistance is possibly even greater. So as current is directly proportional to voltage/resistance the current delivered to the body is gonna be around 100 times greater than if you touched the wire with dry hands. Would this kill you? fuck knows since i don't know what the resistance of skin is anyway and can't be bothered to look it up but surely some smart boiis in the thread will do the rest of the maths or me. Either way electricity near water is never ideal.
>>
>>61319489
All you need is enough voltage to surpass the resistance of skin.

It takes very little (~100mA) current across the chest to have your heart stop. Salt increases the conductivity of water. Combined with the fact that chink chargers don't have voltage regulators, so its possible.
>>
FALSE FLAG
government is going to use this to push more regulations
>>
>>61320830
okay so assuming a somewhat conservative 0.1 amps to be lethal we can determine roughly how much current she received and if it was over the deadly threshold.

Lets take OPs figures of 5v and 2A and a quick google will show that the skins resistance in roughly 100,000 ohms with the resistance of internal tissue being negligible (under 1% of skin resistance). Now as stated the resistance of skin when wet can be 100 times less so lets assume she was having a good long bath and her skin was all pruned up and thoroughly wet meaning her skins resistance was only about 1000ohms.

Using ohms law I=V/R the calculation is:

I = 5/1000= 0.005A
0.005<<<<0.1

this is significantly below the fatal threshold however could still deliver a noticeable shock. either way a properly functioning charger should not have killed her.

Easily. There might be be something in charger what short circuits to wall potential when it breaks. Chregrs are not solenoid-based anymore, they are semiconductor-based.

I don't get it, the charger couldn't have killed her. It's just too dam little electricity. But if the charger didn't kill her then what did?

Even if she would have touched the AC prongs the fuse should have detected the short circuit and shut off the 120 to the plug.

I was in a car crash a few months ago and still remember how fucking cold it got when they put me to sleep.

I lost my fucking conscience when they put me to sleep. For what seemed like 1 second I couldn't feel pain, emotions, or even acknowledge I existed. When you die this becomes permanent. You just come to a grinding halt and all the lights are turned off and permanently destroyed.

I'm pretty sure you fucking disappear when you die else we would have scientific proof of ghosts. Because if I were to die the first priority would be to come back to the real world and let me family know I was still alive in another existence.

Look I used to go to church every sunday, do all my prayers every night, and read the bible whenever I had free time. But certain catastrophic events before the car crash woke me up so hard I wish I could go back to my peaceful ignorant life of make believe.

I'm just telling you all the truth here: you don't go anywhere when you die, you just vanish. Absolutely nothing points to us going to an afterlife. We're all inside a few pounds of brain matter held inside a skull being fed with oxygenated blood with sugar and stuff.

I guess. Though one additional thing I can say is it wasn't like blacking out after a night of getting hammered. I was able to somehow detect that for what seemed like 1 second I completely fuckened disappeared. It got extremely cold very fast when they put me to sleep for the surgery too.

I couldn't stop crying and screaming when I woke up and I used to be in school fights and walk in the woods alone at night. It was absolutely the biggest rush of fear and feeling of impending doom I felt in all my life.

Story states she died while she was in the bathtub. And I don't think they make charging cables that long. So, she probably used an extension cord like an idiot. She most likely developed the habit of using her phone during baths because it was water proof. Lets face it, she only lived this long due to her battery being fully charged. Not very bright if you ask me.

I better not be hearing a lawsuit about water proof phones. Advancements in technology shouldn't suffer over some idiot.

>>61320971
>dat math
Modeling charge flow through a body is a really complex issue. Bodies aren't linear loads. They are not chunks of homogenous materials either.

100mA is pretty high. To get an idea the UL states the GFCIs trigger at 4-6mA of leakage current. As little as 10uA through the heart can cause the rhythm to get out of whack and that's the quantity that really counts.

Multiple things had to have gone wrong any way you cut it. The most likely scenario I can come up with is a failure of the isolation between primary and secondary in the power supply. This could cause voltages around the levels of the outlet to appear on the charger side. It would also almost certainly require a malfunctioning or nonexistent GFCI otherwise she got really unlucky and 5mA killed her. Failure of winding isolation is a really rare event as is failure of a GFCI.

Otherwise I suppose the designed charger output killed her. Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 allows up to 20V to be on the USB line with 12V being the most common. 12V can kill but even in water we're talking struck by lightning on the same day you won the lottery here.

A malfunctioning voltage regulator could provide more voltage than was designed but it would have cooked her phone. So we're talking about a malfunction that occurred around the time of her death which makes it really unlikely.

I really want to see the death investigation report on this. It's bizarre as fuck.

>This thread again
5V in a tub can't hurt you
>Yeah, but what abo-
CAN'T HURT YOU. We did the math. The voltage is just too low by over an order of magnitude.
>But muh chinkshit!
If it's enough voltage to kill you, then it would kill a phone too. Even the chinkiest of chinktech chargers are still +/-20% from 5V.

>>61322057
>Primary/secondary failure
If this happened, I can guarantee the breaker would trip or the charger would just torch itself. The secondary side isn't designed to carry 120V, so there'd instantly be catastrophic failure as previously non-conductive areas became conductive and pcb traces designed to carry a couple amps start carrying a dozen of them.

>20V
Still not enough though. Everyone keeps modeling this like each lead is in a jar of brine and you stick a hand in each one, perfectly putting the source across your heart. This isn't the case though. The water is far more conductive than the skin, and the +/- are a couple of millimeters away from each other on the charging cable. Most of the voltage would be dropped through the water right between the connector pads. Perhaps millivolts would be hitting any skin, and that's being generous.

1. Regulation required dielectric fails
2. USB ground on secondary side is now riding 120V RMS and the ride never ends
3. DC+ pin is now 120V RMS + 5-20VDC depending on QC support and negotiated voltage
4. Phone sees 5-20V potential and charges just fine
5. Loli touches and sees 120V*sqrt(2)+5-20V >= 174.7V between her and any real ground

>I can guarantee

No you can't. This is why dielectric isolation is important. The secondary isn't carrying anything. The "ground" on the secondary side is floating. Instead of floating around 0 through static being sucked off through leakage currents it's floating on whatever the short is connected to.

>Everyone keeps modeling
I'm not modeling it at all. I don't have any specifics on what happened. Combine real horrible bad luck with 20V and you can end up dead though. That's why I'm leaning towards isolation failure.

It's possible. All she had to do was establish a connection from point A to point B. Point A being the wall outlet. Point B being the highly conductive water filled bathtub. It's the old toaster in the bathtub all over again but with a smart phone.

>>61322783
The charger no longer works to charge the phone in your pic related, and you'd get some nice tingles when touching the connector sheath while fully clothed and standing on a dry floor. It just isn't plausible that this would happen and not be immediately noticed.

>I'm not modeling at all
Yeah you are. You're modeling a very unrealistic failure mode. And giving generous benefit of doubt assuming you know this was an electrical failure, when what likely really happened is she was murdered or killed herself.

No no, I've done my share of hard drugs but this was very different. Anyway I have a more positive outlook on life now, I want to make use of and enjoy every second I'm alive. I know the end waits for us all but I don't want to rush it.

It's sad to see people consider suicide as a way out. Even in pain and suffering people should strive to stay alive and live another day. I feel so guilty for having considered suicide as a teen when my cousin died of cancer. She was my best friend in the whole world but me killing myself wasn't gonna bring her back. She was gone and my selfish parents brain washed me into fairy tales to believe that she's not gone. I couldn't move on for so long because of that. Though I sometimes feel resenting my parents for that is wrong, their parents must have been the same.

Sorry for this long rambling, I just get so hurt and emotional when I remember my dead cousin. I think I fell in love with her and I never got to tell her how I felt.
>>
>>61323317
You weren't ever dead tho. Many people have the exact opposite reaction, getting religious. It's super sad to see someone loose faith.

I'm sorry your parents misled your understanding of things, no one is perfect.

Electric codes don't apply retroactively. If you have an old house you're not required to retrofit new equipment just to comply with safety codes. Only if you order new installations on the house will it get upgraded.

>>61320443
I remember reading one article by an electrical engineer that specialized on power supplies. He took apart several power supplies and compared them, concluding that Apple power supplies were far better constructed and safer for both people and the phones than the asian power supplies. It's a few years old now so it might not reflect current equipment but to just assume there's no difference is flat out dangerous.
>>
>>61321145
Nope. Fuses are actually about protecting the equipment itself from surges. They do jackshit about ground faults or arcs, the actual safety hazards that can kill people and start fires. There are special circuit interrupters that solve those problems.
>>
>>61319489
Sounds kind of difficult. 5V is "enough" if a low resistance path through the heart can be established or something since only a few mA are required to actually kill you. Normally it's completely harmless since the resistance through dry human skin is way too high for 5V to do anything, but if wet the contact would be much better. 5V still seems too low to actually cause any damage I'd think, even with wet hands.

I don't know how chink shit 5V chargers are designed. Do they contain a potential direct current path from mains to their output? Something like mains > diode rectifier > cap for smoothing > buck converter? If that's something which might be encountered, I guess it could be legit dangerous, though IIRC phone chargers should still have a transformer, so there wouldn't be a direct path from mains to their output even if something breaks.

Right, and you'd better buy platinum cables to reduce interference. All phones have built in circuity to protect it from bad currents or voltages, the "smoothness" of the power is literally irrelevant. And considering phone chargers only draw a few watts, power consumption is quite irrelevant.

Lack of significant ripple is a direct indicator of how much the engineer who built the supply actually thought about what they were doing.

I work in RF, and in my field you want your DC to actually be DC. Otherwise, you end up with crap like USB 3 ports drowning out your wireless card.

That protection circuitry also probably isn't going to do much when the isolation in a chink charger is so bad it connects your phone to mains.

How was the final resting place? Pretty comfy? I thought so when I visited briefly.

I'd been put under too for surgery to remove a bad parathyroid gland. Took over 6 hours. Events with perceived time went as such: count back from 100 (reaching only 97), wake up "a few seconds later" in ICU demanding albuterol (probably because anesthesia partially depressed breathing).

This is the only thing that makes sense, My sister sat in the tub with her phone, and plugged into an outlet and never died, She did get a minor shock once, and it was because the cord on her charger was fucked up.... she said it was a small tingle.

So the only thing that makes sense is she had a damn extension cord and the end of it fell into the tub, because even in water a phone charger or battery doesn't have enough current or power to kill anyone.. unless you'll get a seriously weak heart.

Nothing adds up. Either extension cord, or a charger malfunction causing higher than normal voltage.... Unless it was a quick charger putting out more than the normal 5v or whatever a cell phone charger uses.

Into the wall? Yep, open and shut case if true.
>grabbing the phone as it was being charged
If the charger either did not properly isolate the mains from the load or the isolation was faulty, and she held the phone in her left hand while wet, and touched some part of her body to grounded plumbing, that's bad. It only takes about 1mA at the right frequency to induce fibrillation.

>>61324748
Budget chargers, especially size-conscious ones, often skimp on safety features like creepage distance because it's expensive to add cutouts to a pc board. If, for example, a drop of water were to form inside the charger casing and couple the line to the shield ground, that's bad.

Live only needs to sneak through. Ground is all around you. Want to prove me wrong? Jam a knife in the live pin of a socket and report back.

Live can sneak onto the DC side without affecting the DC, without a path to ground it won't do anything (DC negative won't complete the circuit). But once it finds a path to gound it is going to carry that 120VAC.

>>61330117 - The article clearly states the cause of death meaning the authorities have concluded that it was indeed electrocution.

So I guess there wasn't a plug in the bathroom and she used an extension to a plug that wasn't GFCI, then the question is how she electrocuted herself, was it a faulty charger or water getting into the end of the extension?

>>61332952

No there was definitely a wall outlet in the bathroom. I never seen one near a bathtub before. Is that even a thing? It could have been either. Most likely it was the charging cable that caught her of guard. And if it was an Iphone. Probably the latest model with thunderbolt capabilities for charging. Yup, that certainly would have done the job. But don't quote me on that. Personally I would never trust a device near me when submerged in water.
>>
>>61333281
No, even if it is Thunderbolt it is pretty unlikely to be able to electrocute someone. The amperage certainly is there but the voltage isn't. With 20V you would need to be applying it almost directly to the heart, probably.

The only thing that really makes sense is somehow getting a connection to the mains, because that'll get you a lot of amperage, probably up to 20A on the breaker, at 110V.

And it could be as simple as a poorly wound transformer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Hdn0MuCK_0
>>
>>61333321

You're assuming she would be receiving 20V in a bathtub full of highly conductive water which the cable has made contact with but in reality she is taking more then 20V when the charging cable is connected to the extension cable leading to the sinks wall outlet. The water acts like giant defibrillator stopping her heart and frying some of her internal organs like her brain.
>>
>>61333504
If it is the charge cable that enters the water and the charger is properly constructed then the maximum voltage she will receive is the voltage on the output of the charger.

If anything referenced to mains enters the water, including the charging cable plugged into a poorly constructed charger, then you will receive mains voltage.
>>
>>61333595

In normal dry conditions. Yes she would receive 20V if she accidentally touched a cut on the cable for example. But if the cable touches the water in the tub theres nothing stopping it from making contact between the Iphones charging port and the charging cable or charging cable and extension cord. Either entry point for the water would have sufficed causing the water to draw more voltage from the wall outlet. What the charging cable drew wouldn't have mattered under these circumstances.
>>
>>61333785
Look. Let me put this simply for you.

On the USB port side of a charger that is properly constructed, which no reference to mains you can not, CAN NOT, get above the DC output voltage of the charger.
If you want to attempt it, try. Get a USB cable, cut the end off and strip, put a multimeter across it and see what you get. Even stick it in AC mode and put the positive in the USB port and the negative in a neutral pin in a socket.

Properly constructed chargers have AC isolated from DC. The only components that bridge the gap either will not pass current across or are insulated, like the transformer and the optoisolator.

If you fucking short your positive and negative together on the USB cable you will not get more than the charger normally outputs because it only makes 5V or 9V or 20V. It will not output a higher voltage than normal if there is less resistance.

There needs to be a reference to mains somewhere.
Maybe water on her hands went into the mains extension as she fiddled with her charger.
Maybe the charger was shit and referenced mains across to the DC side.

I've accidentally touched 120Vac plenty of times. Old homes sometimes have insane wiring (metal switch with the grounding screw tied to hot? Oh yeah.) and I've done many renovations. When you're dry, clothed, and standing on solid ground, touching 120V gives you a little tingle at most, sometimes you don't feel anything at all because you're insulated enough. As long as you're dry, and you don't flat out grab hot with one hand and neutral with the other, you're generally alright.
The problem with this girl, is she was wet, and a bath is usually anchored to ground via the piping.

>>61332952
This is why the NEC specifies you must have outlets in bathrooms, and they must be gfci protected. Houses built in the 80s or earlier probably don't conform to current code though.

Bet it was an off brand changer with zero protection. These shitty chink chargers used to be only on the internet but now they are in gas stations and supermarkets all over. I'm talking the ones with fake UL listing and the crustiest of builds.
