the double insulation helps to stop water from reaching the live.
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Double insulation is a safety feature in electrical appliances where an extra layer of insulation is provided between the conductive parts and the exterior surface. This prevents direct contact between the user and any conductive parts that may become live due to a fault. If a fault occurs and the live parts touch the conductive parts, the double insulation ensures that the user is protected from electric shock by preventing the flow of electricity to the exterior surface of the appliance.
