This was in a guesthouse bathroom, there was a showerhead pointed right at it.

    Is it a suicide shower (the kind where an unprotected 3000W+ heating wire runs through the water) with disconnected ground? (A grill around the nozzles is connected to a ground wire that is supposed to prevent the current from flowing into your body, but it tends to trip GFCI/RCD so stupid desperate people disconnect it against the advice in the manual. If they were desperate but smarter, they would connect the grill to neutral instead to prevent GFCI/RCD from tripping while maintaining slightly better leakage prevention.)

      No it wasn’t one of those, though I have gotten a surprise from them a few times.

      This was a small wall mounted unit with a thermoblock heater. There was no ground of course.
